Description
The Institute for Advanced Study (IAS) School of Mathematics offers approximately 10 joint postdoctoral positions with DIMACS at Rutgers and the Princeton University Department of Mathematics. The positions give researchers time to develop work in a partner setting and at IAS. During their IAS residency, researchers can concentrate full-time on research, with on-campus housing and other resources available.
The DIMACS position focuses on computer science and discrete mathematics. The Veblen Research Instructorship combines teaching and research at Princeton with a year of independent research at IAS. Veblen candidates are also considered for the Bourgain Fellowship, which includes time at Princeton without teaching duties and two years at IAS.
