Mathematical Sciences: Postdoctoral Research Fellowship

数学科学博士后研究奖学金是对最近获得数学科学博士学位的人的奖励。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。大卫·法默将从俄克拉荷马州立大学获得博士学位，并将分别在哥伦比亚大学的帕特里克·加拉格尔和杰弗里·霍夫斯坦的指导下从事研究工作。这项研究将在数论和高阶群的表示理论中的经典问题领域进行。

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 intervals 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. David Farmer will receive his doctoral degree from Oklahoma State University, and will pursue research under the guidance of Patrick Gallagher and Jeffrey Hoffstein at Columbia University and the Mathematical Sciences Research Institute, respectively. The research will be conducted in the area of classical problems in number theory and the representation theory of higher rank groups.
