PIMS Postdoctoral Competition 2023The Pacific Institute for the Mathematical Sciences (PIMS) invites nominations of outstanding young researchers in the mathematical sciences for postdoctoral fellowships beginning in the academic year 2023-2024. Candidates must be nominated by a mathematical scientist (broadly construed) or a department at a PIMS Member University. These fellowships are intended to supplement support provided by the sponsor, and are tenable at any of the PIMS Canadian member universities: the University of Alberta, the University of British Columbia, the University of Calgary, the University of Lethbridge, the University of Manitoba, the University of Regina, the University of Saskatchewan, Simon Fraser University and the University of Victoria. Program FeaturesNominees must have a PhD or equivalent (or expect to receive a PhD by December 31, 2023) and applicants and sponsors are responsible for ensuring that any institutional requirements at the sponsoring institution are also met. The fellowship may be taken up at any time between September 1, 2023 and January 1, 2024. The fellowship term is one year and is renewable, contingent on satisfactory progress, for one additional year. The amount of the PIMS award is typically $30,000 and the sponsor(s) is (are) required to provide additional funds to finance a minimum total stipend of $55,000 per year. PIMS Postdoctoral Fellows are expected to participate in all PIMS activities related to the fellow's area of expertise and will be encouraged to spend time at more than one site. To ensure that PIMS Postdoctoral Fellows are able to participate fully in Institute activities, they may not teach more than two single-term courses per year. Application Process
N.B. The instructions for sponsorship have changed this year.
Candidates must indicate their sponsor(s) in the "PIMS PDF
Sponsor" section of the application form and select the option to email that
person when submitting their application. Sponsors will be sent a form to
complete (via MathJobs) and must complete that form in
addition to their reference letter.
The PIMS PDF nomination/application process takes place entirely online, utilizing the MathJobs service provided by the American Mathematical Society. Potential sponsors should direct their nominees to apply online at mathjobs.org/jobs/PIMS. (Detailed instructions regarding all aspects of the MathJobs application procedure may be found in the online MathJobs user guides.) Note that all nominees, including those associated with PIMS Collaborative Research Groups and those applying for the PIMS-CNRS Postdoctoral Fellowship, must apply through MathJobs.
Candidates are strongly encouraged to read our tips for a successful application document for more details about preparing a successful application. Selection CriteriaRankings of candidates are made by the PIMS PDF Review Panel based on the following criteria:
PIMS takes our commitment to equity, diversity and inclusion very seriously. We strive to build an an open and inclusive community. We strongly encourage people from historically underrepresented groups to apply for these positions. Procedure and Deadlines
