The program will provide support for up to thirty students to take part in research programs supervised by leading researchers from the Fields Institute sponsoring universities as well as visiting researchers at the Institute. It is planned to be the first in a continuing series of such summer undergradute programs. Students accepted into the program will receive student residence housing on the campus of the University of Toronto from July 3 to August 28, 2010; financial support for travel to Toronto; a per diem for meals and medical coverage for non-Canadian students during their stay. Students will be assigned to work on research projects in groups of three or four. It is expected that several of the projects will be related to the Fields summer thematic program on the spread of drug resistance in infectious diseases that will be held at the Institute during July and August, but other topics will also be the focus of student research groups. In some cases, students may also have the opportunity to spend a week off site at the home campus of a project supervisor. Undergraduate students in mathematics related disciplines are encouraged to apply by: 1)sending a covering letter with a brief personal statement 2)having an official transcript from their university sent directly to the Fields Institute and 3)arranging for a letter of reference to be sent to Fields. The deadline for applications is February 20, 2009. Send material to: Alison Conway, Manager of Scientific Programs MITACS-Fields Summer Undergraduate Research Program 222 College Street Toronto, Ontario Canada M5T 3J1 Note: Students requiring visas for travel to Canada will need to make their own arrangements to obtain the necessary documents.

Candidates should have strong interest in current interdisciplinary activity at the Centre. While positions are open to all areas of mathematical medicine and biology, preference will be given to those individuals whose research is concerned with the current principal areas of CMM focus: mathematical oncology, computational neuroscience, bioinformatics, or biomechanics of soft tissues. In particular, we are looking for individuals interested in collaborative interaction with clinicians and experimentalists. The fellowships provide for a period of engagement in research and participation in the Centre's activities. They award a stipend of $20,000 and are offered in conjunction with a Fields Affiliate or Principal Sponsoring University. The partner institution matches Fields' support, and fellows may also teach (at most) one university course per semester for an additional stipend. On the cover sheet of your application, please list any faculty members at these partner institutions who may be appropriate supervisors. You are encouraged to apply directly to these universities as well. Applicants seeking postdoctoral fellowships funded by other agencies (such as NSERC or international fellowships) are encouraged to request the Fields Institute as their proposed location of tenure, and should apply to the Institute for a letter of invitation. Eligibility: Candidates who will have a recent PhD (awarded normally not more than five years before tenure of the Fellowship) in any of the above fields, or a related area of the mathematical sciences, are encouraged to apply. The Fields Institute is committed to diversity and welcomes applications from women, members of First Nations or visible minorities, persons with disabilities, members of sexual minority groups, and others who may contribute to the diversity of ideas. To guarantee consideration, applications should be received by April 1, 2011 (late applications will be accepted until the positions are filled).
