US Junior Oberwolfach Fellows

这项为期5年的奖项每年资助100名“美国初级奥伯沃尔法赫研究员”，他们是来自美国大学和研究所的优秀研究生和博士后，他们在获得博士学位后最多有10年的工作经验，参加奥伯沃尔法赫数学研究所(MFO)为期一周的活动。MFO是位于德国的领先的国际数学研究中心，每年有近3000名国际科学参观者，他们是数学及其应用研究领域的领先专家。来自美国的初级科学家参加这些活动将使他们能够在职业生涯的早期从与来自世界各地的顶尖资深科学家见面和建立网络的机会中受益。他们可以在演讲或海报会议上展示自己的结果，可以从其他参与者那里学习新的方法和结果，可以参与大量的、科学上非常有利可图的公开和私下讨论。由于MFO完全致力于研究，研讨会的参与使整个星期的互动成为可能，促进了在数学和科学技术相关学科的广泛研究主题上的新方法和快速进展。MFO通过4个中心计划开展为期一周的科学活动：Oberwolfach研讨会、Mini研讨会、Arbeitsgmeinschaften和Oberwolfach研讨会。主要的科学方案是Oberwolfach讲习班方案，该方案每年由大约40个研究讲习班组成，每个讲习班约有50人参加，由国际领先的专家组织。迷你研讨会方案每年提供12个迷你研讨会，每个约有15人参加，并允许举行比研讨会更有针对性的会议。Arbeitsgomeinschaft(“学习小组”，每年3次)为初级研究人员和高级研究人员举办的目的是通过演讲来了解他们当前研究领域以外的新的活跃主题。6个Oberwolfach研讨会是由该领域的领先专家组织的学校，面向来自世界各地的博士生和博士后。目的是向25名参与者介绍一项特别的最新发展。支持将导致来自美国的早期职业研究人员参与的人数显著增加。在约22%的访客来自美国的总比例中，约3%的客座研究人员以美国青年奥伯沃法赫奖学金访问MFO。科学质量是通过一个国际科学委员会和一个科学顾问委员会精心挑选项目来保证的。该奖项体现了美国国家科学基金会的法定使命，通过使用基金会的学术价值和更广泛的影响审查标准进行评估，被认为是值得支持的。

This 5-year award supports annually 100 “US Junior Oberwolfach Fellows”, outstanding graduate students and postdocs from US universities and institutes with at most 10 years experience after their PhD, in their participation in week-long activities at the Mathematisches Forschungsinstitut Oberwolfach (MFO). The MFO is a leading international mathematical research center in Germany with annually nearly 3,000 international scientific visitors who are leading experts in a field of research in mathematics and its applications. Participation of junior scientists from the United States in these activities will allow them to benefit at an early stage of their career from opportunities to meet and network with top senior scientists from all over the world. They can present their own results, either in talks or in poster sessions, can learn new methods and results from the other participants and can take part in the numerous and scientifically very profitable public and private discussions. As the MFO is solely devoted to research, workshop participation enables interactions during the whole week, fostering new approaches and fast progress on a broad range of research topics in mathematics and adjacent disciplines in science and technology.The MFO runs its week-long scientific activities in 4 central programs: The Oberwolfach Workshops, the Mini-Workshops, the Arbeitsgemeinschaften, and the Oberwolfach Seminars. The main scientific program is the Oberwolfach Workshop program which consists of about 40 research workshops per year, each with about 50 participants and organized by internationally leading experts. The Mini-Workshop program offers 12 mini-workshops per year, each with about 15 participants, and allows more focused meetings than the workshops. The purpose of the Arbeitsgemeinschaft (“Study Group”, 3 times per year) for junior as well as for senior researchers is to learn about a new active topic outside their current area of research by giving a lecture on it. The 6 Oberwolfach Seminars are schools organised by leading experts in the field and address PhD students and postdocs from all over the world. The aim is to introduce 25 participants to a particularly recent development.The support will result in an impressive increase of participation of early career researchers from the United States. Of the total proportion of about 22% of visitors coming from the United States, about 3% of all guest researchers are visiting the MFO with an US Junior Oberwolfach Fellowship. Scientific quality is assured by careful selection of programs through an international scientific committee and a scientific advisory board. Great care is taken to ensure equity, diversity and inclusion such that mathematicians of any national origin, minority group, gender, religion, diet/food requirements, disability status and age can apply and are regularly invited to Oberwolfach.This award reflects NSF's statutory mission and has been deemed worthy of support through evaluation using the Foundation's intellectual merit and broader impacts review criteria.
