PIMS Announces PIMS-Europe Fellowships

 
 
PIMS-Europe (CNRS UMI #3069) is announcing a new program, the PIMS-Europe Fellowships, with the goal of developing and supporting research collaborations between mathematical scientists at PIMS member universities and researchers across France. 
 
These fellowships will champion a mutual exchange of knowledge and talent while encouraging cross-ocean research on the frontline of the Mathematical Sciences.
 
Fellowship awardees will receive CAD $5,000 to facilitate long-term visits to France.
 
Fellowship Parameters:
 
  • Fellowships are eligible to ALL mathematical scientists with faculty positions at PIMS member universities.
  • PIMS-Europe Fellows are expected to spend at least two continuous months working on collaborative research in France. PIMS encourages longer visits.
  • Application Deadline: October 15, 2019
 
Applications MUST include: 
 
  • A focused overview of the planned research activity, including locations and anticipated France-based collaborators (up to 5 pages).
  • A letter of support from the proposed host institution in France.
  • A letter from the applicant’s department head supporting the proposed visit. The letter from the department head should reference the duration of the applicant’s stay in France. For visits that include part of an academic year, the department must commit to provide a teaching release covering the duration of the proposed visit. 
 
There will be Five PIMS-Europe Fellowships available in the 2018 competition.
