Description
The Mathematical Sciences Postdoctoral Research Fellowships (MSPRF) program is designed to support promising early-career researchers in mathematics and statistics. The fellowships provide recipients with the flexibility to pursue postdoctoral research in environments that will maximize their scientific growth and career development. Fellows may choose between two award options: the Research Fellowship (full-time research) or the Research Instructorship (combining research with teaching experience). Awards support research in all areas of mathematics and statistics, including applications to other disciplines.
