Description
The Other Mid-to-Senior Career Level Memberships offered by the School of Mathematics at the Institute for Advanced Study (IAS) provide established researchers in mathematics and theoretical computer science the opportunity to pursue full-time research in a collaborative environment. These memberships are intended for scholars who are at least five years past their Ph.D., including those on sabbatical leave, and span all mathematical and theoretical computer science disciplines. Members benefit from access to on-campus housing (subject to availability), participation in seminars and workshops, and the unique research community at IAS. The program typically accommodates around 12 mid-to-senior career researchers annually, granting them the time and resources to focus exclusively on their research interests.
