National Science Foundation Mathematics Partnership Creates New Jobs

Forty-five new positions for highly-trained mathematical scientists across the country have been created as a result of a partnership among the seven National Science Foundation-supported mathematics institutes. Five of these one-year positions have been selected by the Faculty of the School of Mathematics at the Institute for Advanced Study for an appointment beginning in September 2009. Four of the recent PhDs will be based at a host institution and one will be based at the Institute. Each will have a mentor at his respective host institution. The four based at partnership institutions will each have an Institute faculty contact and will be encouraged to visit the Institute for at least one week per term and give a seminar on their research. Pierre Albin of Massachusetts Institute of Technology will be hosted by the Courant Institute of Mathematical Sciences at New York University; Jonathan William Bober of the University of Michigan will be hosted by IAS; Reimundo Heluani of the University of California at Berkeley will be hosted by his home institution; Joseph A. Johns of the Courant Institute of Mathematical Sciences will be hosted by Barnard College; and Jean-Philippe Lessard of Rutgers, The State University of New Jersey, will be hosted by his home institution.
