Description
The London Mathematical Society’s Grace Chisholm Young Fellowships support mathematicians whose careers are temporarily interrupted by family responsibilities, a partner’s relocation, or similar circumstances. The fellowship provides financial assistance and recognition of the holder’s status as a mathematician, helping maintain continuous mathematical activity during a break in formal employment.
The Society offers one fellowship each year, administered by its Committee for Women and Diversity in Mathematics. Its purpose is to help fellows remain connected to mathematics and be in a position to apply for academic or research posts when circumstances allow. The fellowship combines personal research support with affiliation to a supportive UK Mathematics Department. Applications are open to eligible individuals of any gender.
