Institute for Advanced Study, School of Mathematics, Princeton, NJ


Overview

The IAS School of Mathematics welcomes applications from mathematicians and theoretical computer scientists at all career levels, and strongly encourages applications from women, minorities, and mid-career scientists (5-15 years from PhD). Competitive salaries, on-campus housing, and other resources are available for periods of 4-11 months for researchers in all mathematical subject areas. Successful candidates will be free to devote themselves full-time to research. The School supports approximately 85 Members per year in the following five categories:


Post-Doctoral Membership (~35 positions)

For those not more than 5 years from their PhD, about 35 stipendiary post-doctoral memberships of 1 or 2 years duration are available in all areas of mathematics and theoretical computer science.


Post-Doctoral Joint Positions (~10 positions)

Post-doctoral applicants in computer science and discrete mathematics may apply for a two-year position offered jointly with DIMACS at Rutgers, The State University of New Jersey. Post-doctoral applicants in all areas of mathematics may apply for a Veblen Research Instructorship – a three-year position in partnership with Princeton University Department of Mathematics. Successful applicants spend 2 years at Princeton University, where they have a responsibility for both teaching and research, and 1 year at the IAS to concentrate on research. Candidates for joint positions must apply to both the IAS and to the other institution.


Von Neumann Fellowships (~8 positions)

About 8 Von Neumann Fellowships are available to distinguished mid-career mathematicians and theoretical computer scientists, 5 to 15 years from their PhD. Each position comes with a fellowship grant equivalent to a competitive salary.


Other Mid-to-Senior Career Level Memberships (~12 positions)

Mid-to-senior career-level memberships are usually 1 year in duration, but can be for just one term. These are available to researchers in all areas of mathematics and theoretical computer science at any career stage beyond 5 years from PhD, including those on sabbatical leave. Limited financial support is available to those without sufficient external funds.


Special-Year Program Membership (~20 positions)

About 20 memberships are available to those of all career stages who are interested in actively participating in the Special-Year Program. These may be stipendiary or non-stipendiary. They are usually 1 year in duration, but can be for just one term. In 2022-2023, there will be a special-year program on Dynamics, Additive Number Theory and Algebraic Geometry, led by Tamar Zeiger, who will be the Distinguished Visiting Professor.

Deadline

The deadline for applications and all supporting materials (including reference letters) is December 1.
