Research Immersion Fellowship
This fellowship supports individuals with a high potential of resuming an active research career after an interruption. Examples of qualifying interruptions include: a complete or partial hiatus from research activities for child rearing; an incapacitating illness or injury of the candidate, spouse, partner, or a member of the immediate family; or relocation to accommodate a spouse, partner, or other close family member.
The program is not intended to support additional graduate training and is not intended to support career changes from non-research to research careers for individuals without prior research training. The candidate may be in complete or partial hiatus from research activities at the time of application, and should not be engaged in full-time paid research activities. The candidate need not occupy a tenured or tenure-track position, but the most compelling applications will present a plan to continue with research activities beyond the period of the fellowship.
The award is to be held at the Fields Institute, but there are no restrictions on the nationality or country of employment of the re-entry candidate. The program has the dual goals of increasing women’s participation in mathematical research world-wide and of boosting thematic programs at Fields by the inclusion of additional long-term participants.
