Eligibility And Place Of TenureAARMS postdoctoral fellowships are awarded, on the recommendation of its Scientific Review Panel (SRP), to beginning researchers who received their PhD no more than four years before the Stage 1 deadline given below. Applications will be considered from those who anticipate receiving their PhD before the proposed start time of the fellowship, however the PhD must be in hand before actually beginning the fellowship. AARMS will provide $25,000 per year for the fellowship and the supervisor is responsible for organizing matching funds of at least $17,500. In addition, AARMS will provide travel funding of up to $1500 per year for all AARMS funded postdocs. It is typically expected that the proposed supervisor will not be the same person as the applicant’s PhD supervisor, and that the proposed Postdoctoral Fellowship will be at a different university than the one at which the PhD was awarded. The proposed supervisor(s) must be a full-time tenure track or tenured faculty member at an AARMS member university, and the proposed research must be in the Mathematical Sciences or a closely related field. A co-supervisor who is outside of Atlantic Canada may be proposed but the postdoc may not spend more that one semester per year outside Atlantic Canada. DurationNormally two years. Funding for the second year is dependent upon satisfactory performance demonstrated in the detailed progress report submitted by the supervisor(s). ApplicationApplicants must first choose one or more faculty members from AARMS member universities who they wish to nominate as potential supervisors. Applicants may also nominate a team of Atlantic researchers as co-supervisors, possibly at different Atlantic Canadian Universities. Candidates are strongly encouraged to contact prospective supervisor(s) in advance to gauge their interest/ability to support the applicant as a postdoctoral fellow. Once the potential supervisor(s) have been selected, the applicant should create an application in response to the “AARMS Postdoctoral Fellowship” advertisement on MathJobs.org. The application should include:
We highly recommend that you complete this stage of the application well before the deadline. People you ask to provide letters of reference are usually very busy and may not be able to respond in time if you give them short notice. Without the required letters of reference your application will not be successful. It is permitted for a supervisor to support more than one applicant, subject to the following restrictions:
