Mathematical Sciences: Postdoctoral Research Fellowship

9407547麦克劳克林数学科学博士后研究奖学金授予最近获得数学科学博士学位的人。这些奖项是为国家科学努力的未来活力做出贡献的一种手段。随着数学科学研究人员扩大与其他学科的互动，以及数学本身各领域之间的相互作用增加，博士后研究和培训的机会变得越来越重要。奖学金旨在允许获奖者选择对其未来科学发展产生最大影响的研究环境。该研究金旨在提供24个月的支助，分为18个学年月和3期，每期两个夏季月。受助人可以选择(1)研究奖学金方案，允许在三年期间内的任何18个学年的月内提供全职支助，间隔不少于连续3个月；或(2)研究导师方案，允许将18个学年的支助视为9个月的全职支助和18个月的半职支助。在任何日历年，本奖学金的夏季资助不得超过两个月。理查德·麦克劳克林在普林斯顿大学获得博士学位，将在犹他大学肯·戈尔德的指导下从事研究工作。这项研究将在湍流传输领域进行，特别是关于被动标量和主动标量的随机性的影响。

9407547 MCLAUGHLIN The Mathematical Sciences Postdoctoral Research Fellowships are awards to recent recipients of doctoral degrees in the mathematical sciences. These awards are a means of contributing to the future vitality of the scientific effort of the nation. As researchers in the mathematical sciences expand their interactions with other disciplines, and as the interplay increases between the various areas of mathematics itself, opportunities for postdoctoral research and training are becoming increasingly important. The fellowships are designed to permit awardees to choose research environments that will have maximal impact on their future scientific development. The fellowship is designed to provide 24 months of support divided into 18 academic-year months and 3 periods of two summer months. The recipient may choose (1) the Research Fellowship option which allows for full-time support for any 18 academic-year months in a three-year period, in interval not shorter than 3 consecutive months or (2) the Research Instructorship option which allows the 18 months of academic year support to be taken as 9 months of full-time support and 18 months of half-time support. Not more than two months of summer support from this Fellowship may be received in any calendar year. Richard McLaughlin received his doctoral degree from Princeton University, and will pursue research under the guidance of Ken Golden at the University of Utah. The research will be conducted in the area of turbulent transport, specifically on effects of randomness in passive and active scalars.
