AMS Centennial Fellowships for 2013-2014 Invitation for Applications

 

NEXT DEADLINE: DECEMBER 1, 2012

 

The AMS Centennial Research Fellowship Program makes awards annually to outstanding mathematicians to help further their careers in research. From 1997-2001, the fellowship program was aimed at recent PhDs. Recently, the AMS Council approved changes in the rules for the fellowships. The eligibility rules are as follows. The primary selection criterion for the Centennial Fellowship is the excellence of the candidate's research.

• Preference will be given to candidates who have not had extensive fellowship support in the past.
• Recipients may not hold the Centennial Fellowship concurrently with another research fellowship such as a Sloan or NSF Postdoctoral fellowship.
• Under normal circumstances, the fellowship cannot be deferred.
• A recipient of the fellowship shall have held his or her doctoral degree for at least three years and not more than twelve years at the inception of the award (that is, received between September 1, 2001 and September 1, 2010).
• Applications will be accepted from those currently holding a tenured, tenure track, post-doctoral, or comparable (at the discretion of the selection committee) position at an institution in North America.

The stipend for fellowships awarded for 2013-2014 was US$82,000, with an additional expense allowance of about US$8200. Acceptance of the fellowship cannot be postponed.
The number of fellowships to be awarded is small and depends on the amount of money contributed to the program. The Society supplements contributions as needed. One fellowship will be awarded for the 2013-2014 academic year.
