US Junior Oberwolfach Fellows

该奖项为期5年，每年资助100名“美国奥伯沃尔夫法赫青年研究员”，即来自美国大学和研究所的优秀研究生和博士后，在获得博士学位后最多有10年的工作经验，参加奥伯沃尔夫法赫数学研究所（MFO）为期一周的活动。MFO是德国领先的国际数学研究中心，每年有近3000名国际科学访问者，他们是数学及其应用研究领域的主要专家。来自美国的青年科学家参加这些活动将使他们在职业生涯的早期阶段就有机会与来自世界各地的顶级资深科学家见面并建立联系，从而受益。他们可以在演讲或海报会议中展示自己的成果，可以从其他参与者那里学习新的方法和结果，可以参加众多科学上非常有益的公共和私人讨论。由于MFO完全致力于研究，参加研讨会可以在整个星期内进行互动，促进数学和科学技术相关学科的广泛研究课题的新方法和快速进展。MFO通过四个中心项目开展为期一周的科学活动：Oberwolfach研讨会、迷你研讨会、Arbeitsgemeinschaften和Oberwolfach研讨会。主要的科学项目是Oberwolfach研讨会项目，每年约有40个研究研讨会，每个研讨会约有50名参与者，由国际领先的专家组织。迷你研讨会每年提供12个小型研讨会，每个研讨会约有15名参与者，并且允许比研讨会更集中的会议。针对初级和高级研究人员的Arbeitsgemeinschaft（“学习小组”，每年3次）的目的是通过授课来了解他们当前研究领域之外的一个新的活跃话题。6个Oberwolfach研讨会由该领域的顶尖专家组织，面向来自世界各地的博士生和博士后。目的是向25位参与者介绍最近的一项发展。这项支持将显著增加来自美国的早期职业研究人员的参与。在22%来自美国的访客中，约有3%的客座研究人员是通过美国青年奥伯沃尔法赫奖学金访问MFO的。科学质量通过国际科学委员会和科学顾问委员会的精心选择得到保证。我们非常注意确保公平、多样性和包容性，以便任何国籍、少数群体、性别、宗教、饮食/食物要求、残疾状况和年龄的数学家都可以申请并定期被邀请到Oberwolfach。该奖项反映了美国国家科学基金会的法定使命，并通过使用基金会的知识价值和更广泛的影响审查标准进行评估，被认为值得支持。

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.
