CRM-ISM Postdoctoral Fellowships

The Centre de recherches mathematiques (CRM) and the Institut des sciences mathematiques (ISM) are pleased to announce the creation of 10 postdoctoral positions for young mathematical scientists for the academic year 2021. This new initiative is a reaction to the impact of the economic downturn on academia created by the unprecedented COVID crisis. There have been many hiring freezes and cancelled job searches across the world. As a result, many recent graduates, even from top programs, are facing unemployment. The CRM and the ISM, has responded, albeit in a small way, by creating these new postdoctoral fellowships.

The CRM-ISM postdoctoral fellowships are awarded to promising researchers who have recently obtained or expect to obtain a Ph.D in the mathematical sciences.

This is a research fellowship allowing the recipient to devote most of his or her time to research under the supervision of a professor from one of the CRM and ISM member universities. If fellows wish to teach, they may request to be offered teaching assignments for which they will receive an additional salary.

Applications are welcome in all fields of research in which the CRM and the ISM are actively involved, namely: actuarial and financial mathematics, algebra and number theory, analysis, applied mathematics, category theory, combinatorics, geometry and topology, mathematical methods in medical imaging, mathematical physics, nonlinear dynamics, probability, quantum computing and statistics.
