PIMS Postdoctoral Fellowships 2008-2009

The Pacific Institute for the Mathematical Sciences (PIMS) invites 
nominations of outstanding young researchers in the mathematical 
sciences for Postdoctoral Fellowships for the year 2008-2009. Candidates 
must be nominated by one or more scientists affiliated with PIMS or by a 
Department (or Departments) affiliated with PIMS. The fellowships are 
intended to supplement support made available through such a sponsor. 
The Institute expects to support up to 20 fellowships tenable at any of 
its *Canadian* member universities: Simon Fraser University, the 
University of Alberta, the University of British Columbia, the 
University of Calgary, and the University of Victoria, as well as PIMS' 
affiliated universities: the University of Lethbridge and the University 
of Regina.

For the 2008-2009 competition, the amount of the award is at least 
$20,000 and the sponsor(s) is (are) required to provide additional funds 
to finance a minimum stipend of $40,000 (including benefits).

Award decisions are made by the PIMS PDF Review Panel based on 
excellence of the candidate, potential for participation in PIMS 
programs and potential for involvement with PIMS partners. PIMS 
Postdoctoral Fellows will be expected to participate in all PIMS 
activities related to the Fellow's area of expertise and will be 
encouraged to spend time at other sites. To ensure that PIMS 
Postdoctoral Fellows are able to participate fully in Institute 
activities, they may not teach more that two single-term courses per year.

Nominees must have a Ph.D. or equivalent (or expect to receive a Ph.D. 
by December 31, 2008) and be within three years of their Ph.D. at the 
time of the nomination (i.e., the candidate must have received her or 
his Ph.D. on or after January 1, 2005). The fellowship may be taken up 
at any time between April 1, 2008 and January 1, 2009. The fellowship is 
for one year and is renewable for at most one additional year.

Nominations must include

 1. curriculum vitae,
 2. statement of research interests,
 3. three letters of reference (including one from a sponsoring 
professor), and
 4. statement of anticipated support from the sponsor.

Deadline for Nominations: December 15, 2007
