The program is supported by a five year grant from the Ministry of Training,
Colleges and Universities. It will offer a number of two year positions involving
a semester at Fields and three semesters at one of Fields' Principal Sponsoring
Universities (PSU): Carleton, McMaster, Ottawa, Toronto, Waterloo, Western Ontario,
and York. The Fields-Ontario Postdoctoral Fellowship program will provide
a new approach to supporting postdoctoral fellows by offering a salary high enough
to attract talented Canadian and international researchers, as well as an extended
stay at both the Fields Institute and a PSU. This will provide talented young
mathematicians an opportunity to become better known by the Ontario scientific
community. It will also allow them to experience the research environment at a
major Ontario university, establish lasting research collaborations and perhaps
build a career in Ontario. The first Fields-Ontario postdocs are currently
participating in thematic programs at the Fields Institute during the 2008-09
academic year. We are pleased to announce Jing Zong as the Fields-Ontario postdoctoral
fellow for the Fall 2008 thematic program on Arithmetic Geometry, Hyperbolic Geometry
and Related Topics and Jana Maríková as the Fields-Ontario postdoctoral
fellow for the Winter 2009 thematic program on o-minimal Structures and Real Analytic
Geometry. Jing Zong, who received his Ph.D. from the University of Pennsylvania,
is hosted by the University of Toronto. Jana Maríková, who received
her Ph.D. from the University of Illinois at Urbana Champaign, will be hosted
by McMaster University.
The Fields Institute, located in Toronto, is
recognized as one of the world's leading independent mathematical research institutions.
With a wide array of pure, applied, industrial, financial and educational programs,
The Fields Institute attracts over 1,000 visitors annually from every corner of
the globe, to collaborate on leading-edge research programs in the mathematical
sciences. For postdoctoral application information, please visit www.fields.utoronto.ca/proposals/postdoc.html
