Description
The Institute for Advanced Study’s School of Mathematics offers post-doctoral memberships supporting research across all areas of mathematics and theoretical computer science. Successful candidates are free to devote themselves full-time to research within the School. The program supports work across both disciplines rather than restricting appointments to a particular mathematical area, theoretical computer science topic, or specified project theme.
This opportunity is the School’s standard Post-Doctoral Membership, distinct from its joint post-doctoral positions with partner institutions. Approximately 35 stipendiary memberships are available, with National Science Foundation support funding 12–18 of those positions.
