Description
The Simons Foundation’s Mathematics and Physical Sciences division runs this fellowship to make sabbatical research leaves more productive by extending at least a single-term leave to a full academic year. The program supports sustained time away from classroom teaching and administrative obligations, encouraging intellectual stimulation, creativity and productivity in theoretical mathematics research.
Fellows receive salary replacement and support for expenses associated with their approved leave plans. Research may take place at the home institution or elsewhere, including abroad. Applied mathematics, statistics and mathematical biology can qualify within the program’s mathematics-department requirements. Selection emphasizes scientific accomplishments during the preceding five years and the potential scientific impact of the work planned during the leave.
