The C.L.E. Moore Instructorship in Mathematics was created fifty years ago as an early experiment in postdoctoral training. It succeeded brilliantly and set a pattern which has been widely emulated. Indeed, the spectacular growth of research in pure and applied mathematics in the post-sputnik era was a development in which alumni of the Moore Instructorship program played a vital role. More recently the Instructorship in Applied Mathematics has attracted a similarly talented group, and the Instructorship in Pure Mathematics, whose recipients were always comparable to the "Moores", and has been used to supplement fellowship funds (typically NSF fellowships), has been equally successful. Altogether there are some five hundred and forty alumni of these three programs scattered across the country (both in academic and non-academic mathematics) and involved in a very wide range of research. MIT will host a three day conference this October to celebrate the fiftieth anniversary of the creation of the Moore-Applied Instructorship. The organizers have invited ALL ex-instructors to this conference (and have asked the NSF to help defray the travel costs of younger members of this group.) Our aim is not only to celebrate the success of this program in its first fifty years of existence, but also to explore the future: Clearly the profession of research mathematics is at something of a crossroads today, and we hope to gain insight from this talented group into what directions this institution should move in the future to contribute to the continuing leadership by the US in the Mathematical Sciences.

C.L.E.摩尔数学指导是五十年前作为博士后培训的早期实验而创建的。它取得了辉煌的成功，并树立了一个被广泛效仿的模式。事实上，壮观的增长研究在纯数学和应用数学在后波多尼克时代是一个发展，其中校友的摩尔指导计划发挥了至关重要的作用。最近在应用数学的讲师吸引了一个类似的人才组，和讲师在纯数学，其收件人总是可比的“摩尔”，并已被用来补充奖学金基金（通常是美国国家科学基金会奖学金），已同样成功。总共有大约540校友这三个程序分散在全国各地（无论是在学术和非学术数学），并参与了非常广泛的研究。 麻省理工学院将于今年10月举办一个为期三天的会议，庆祝摩尔应用教学创立50周年。组织者邀请了所有的前教师参加这次会议（并要求NSF帮助支付这个小组的年轻成员的旅行费用。我们的目标不仅是庆祝该计划在其存在的第一个50年的成功，而且要探索未来：显然，研究数学的专业是在今天的十字路口的东西，我们希望从这个有才华的群体洞察到什么方向这个机构应该在未来的移动，以促进美国在数学科学的持续领导。
