Mathematics Research Fellowships at ICTP starting September 2014

Visiting Fellowships for outstanding mathematicians from developing 
countries.

The Abdus Salam International Centre for Theoretical Physics (ICTP) 
invites applications for a small number of visiting fellowships for 
outstanding mathematicians from developing countries.

Visiting Fellowships are open to mathematicians of any age and
nationality. They are intended for short visits to ICTP (typically 
between 1 to 3 months) during the period:

1 September 2014 - 31 August 2015

though longer visits (up to 12 months) are possible.

Visiting Fellows must have a PhD in mathematics prior to the start of
their Fellowship.

Deadline for applications: 15 January 2014

Preference will be given to candidates who will benefit most from the 
time spent at ICTP, in the sense of pursuing their own research, using 
the ICTP facilities, interacting with other mathematicians, and
ultimately turning the fellowship into a positive opportunity for their 
home institution or country as well as for themselves. Women are 
particularly encouraged to apply.

Candidates should apply using the ICTP online application. They are 
required to submit, along with their CV, a detailed research project
with specific goals that can be realistically achieved during their 
planned visit to ICTP. In addition, candidates are requested to
provide letters of recommendations from established researchers
(instructions for submission of letters of recommendation will be
provided after submission of the online application). Both the letters 
of recommendation and the research project are key components for the 
evaluation of the candidates. For junior applicants we highly
recommend they provide at least three letters of recommendation.

We also welcome applications from small groups, two or three
scientists, who wish to spend some time working together on a joint 
project at ICTP. In such a case, each member of the applicant group must 
apply separately for a Visiting Fellowship through the ICTP
online system, describing in their research project the nature of the 
joint work planned.

Successful candidates will have the possibility to participate in the 
Mathematics activities of ICTP, the International School of Advanced
Studies (ISAS/SISSA) and the University of Trieste, as well as the 
opportunity to interact with visiting mathematicians.  Details on the 
life at ICTP can be found at http://www.ictp.it/visit-ictp.aspx
