This
program supports individuals with high potential to re-enter
an active research career after a career interruption. The
RIF is expected to participate fully in one or more of the
the thematic
programs, in the expectation that this will allow her
or him to enhance her or his research capabilities and to
establish or re-establish a career as a productive, competitive
researcher.
To qualify, candidates must have been in a postdoctoral or
faculty position at the time their active research career
was interrupted. The duration of the career interruption should
be at least one year and no more than eight years. Examples
of qualifying interruptions include a complete or partial
hiatus from research activities for child rearing; family
responsibilities, 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.
Call
for applications:
For programs in a given program year (which runs July to June)
the closing date will be the preceding March 31, but
late applications will be considered if the position has not
yet been filled.
Please submit a cover sheet indicating your interests,
a CV, a brief description of the circumstances altering your
research activity, and a proposal describing the impact you
expect a semester at Fields to have on your research career.
Include the names of faculty who will be participating in
the Thematic Program who may be appropriate as supervisors
or research advisors.
Application should be sent be email to:
