Faculty/research scientists at our Principal Sponsoring Universities or Principal Sponsoring Institutions are invited to apply (e.g. for a period during a research leave from their own university or institution), or to nominate a mathematical scientist for the purpose of collaborative research.
Deadlines
The annual application deadlines are January 15, May 15, and September 15.
The pandemic situation in Ontario is changing rapidly and the Fields Institute building remains closed.
Research Fellows accepted to the program will not be able to come to the Fields Institute until such time as we are able to open and welcome staff and visitors back safely. This will be informed by public health regulations.
Please visit this page for information on the status of our building/opening.
We are actively monitoring
University of Toronto,
Toronto Public Health,
Public Health Ontario, and
Government of Canada guidance and instructions. In-person operations at the Fields Institute are subject to public health recommendations at the intended time of visit and are subject to the evolving situation with the pandemic.
Applications and Nominations for Fields Research Fellowships
Applications from faculty/research scientists at our Principal Sponsoring Universities or Principal Sponsoring Institutions: please submit a cover letter describing your interest in the Fields Research Fellowship. In addition, please include a CV and a short research proposal.
For other applicants: please submit the same material as above, and in addition, arrange for a letter of nomination and recommendation from a faculty member/research scientist at one of our Principal Sponsoring Universities or Principal Sponsoring Institutions.
All application materials should be submitted at least three (3) months prior to the proposed start date. The annual application deadlines are January 15, May 15, and September 15.
The minimum length of residence is one (1) month, and the maximum is three (3) months. Note that faculty/research scientists living in the GTA are ineligible for the fellowship, but may nominate candidates from elsewhere for the award.
Selection of successful candidates will be made by the Directors of the Institute, in consultation with the Scientific Advisory Panel.
There are no restrictions on the nationality of the candidates. In accordance with our mandate, the Fields Institute encourages applications from women and under-represented groups.
This program replaces the Research Immersion Fellowship.
Benefits
Fellowship holders will be provided with office space, access to all Fields facilities and activities, and an allowance for living expenses of up to $3,750 CAD for each month of full-time residence.
Submit an Application
Use the Online Fields Research Fellow Application Form to submit your application for consideration.
