AMS Centennial Fellowships, USA
Job Description: The AMS Centennial Research Fellowship Program makes awards annually to outstanding mathematicians to help further their careers in research. From 1997-2001, the fellowship program was aimed at recent PhDs. Recently, the AMS Council approved changes in the rules for the fellowships. The eligibility rules are as follows. The primary selection criterion for the Centennial Fellowship is the excellence of the candidate’s research.
* Preference will be given to candidates who have not had extensive fellowship support in the past.
* Recipients may not hold the Centennial Fellowship concurrently with another research fellowship such as a Sloan or NSF Postdoctoral fellowship.
* Under normal circumstances, the fellowship cannot be deferred.
* A recipient of the fellowship shall have held his or her doctoral degree for at least three years and not more than twelve years at the inception of the award (that is, received between September 1, 1997 and September 1, 2006).
* Applications will be accepted from those currently holding a tenured, tenure track, post-doctoral, or comparable (at the discretion of the selection committee) position at an institution in North America.
The stipend for fellowships awarded for 2010-2011 was US$77,000, with an additional expense allowance of about US$7,700. Acceptance of the fellowship cannot be postponed.
The number of fellowships to be awarded is small and depends on the amount of money contributed to the program. The Society supplements contributions as needed. One fellowship will be awarded for the 2011-2012 academic year. A list of previous fellowship winners can be found on the Prizes and Awards page.
Applications should include a cogent plan indicating how the fellowship will be used. The plan should include travel to at least one other institution and should demonstrate that the fellowship will be used for more than reduction of teaching at the candidate’s home institution. The selection committee will consider the plan in addition to the quality of the candidate’s research and will try to award the fellowship to those for whom the award would make a real difference in the development of their research careers. Work in all areas of mathematics, including interdisciplinary work, is eligible.
The deadline for receipt of applications is TBD. Awards are expected to be announced in February 2011 or earlier if possible.
The Application Form will be accessible at the appropriate time.
