Mathematical Sciences/GIG: Postdoctural Program - Courant Institute

点击翻译按钮获取中文摘要

This GIG Award will provide additional NSF support for the advanced training of postdoctoral visitors at the Courant Institute of Mathematical Sciences. It will provide funding for four new positions, bringing the program to a total of eight postdoctoral visitors per year. New York University has committed itself to the success of the program by making substantial cost sharing contributions. The Courant Postdoctoral Program is now in its 39th year and continues to be the starting point for many successful careers in the mathematical sciences. The postdocs who choose to visist the Courant Institute benefit from the Institute's large and high quality permanent faculty with specialties in overlapping area throughout pure and applied mathematics, a tradition of interdisciplinary work and collaborative research, and our unique location -- New York City. The program involves intense collaborations between permanent faculty and postdocs, in areas of research that span an unusually broad range of the mathematical sciences, ranging from pure mathematics, to applied mathematics, to scientific computation. Several recent enhancements of the program include an advanced literature seminar, a yearly selection of special topics for a program of interdisciplinary seminars and workshops, a systematic approach to mentoring, and opportunities for interdisciplinary research and innovative teaching.
