Most IMA workshops are for scientists possessing a doctoral degree who are actively involved in the topic of the workshop. To request an invitation to an IMA workshop or other program, please complete the application form. Decisions about online applications are typically made 1-3 months before the workshop.

The online application is available until approximately one week before the start of a workshop. If you require funding to participate, complete the funding request section. Funding is limited. If the workshop you wish to attend is not listed, funding for the program is exhausted. If you do not need financial support to attend after the form has been taken down, e-mail IMA staff.

This form is for participation in an IMA workshop or short program. To apply for a visit of one month or more, you will need to apply for a general membership.

Mathematicians and scientists employed elsewhere have the opporunity to spend a period of one month to one year in residence at the IMA, and to participate in the thematic program as a general member. The residency should fall in the period September through June (in special cases extending into the summer months). Logistical support such as office space, computer facilities, and secretarial support will be provided, and local expenses may be provided. Preference will be given to supplementary support for persons with sabbatical leaves, fellowships, or other stipends. The research interests of General Members must relate to the thematic program and a doctoral degree is normally expected. Applications may be submitted at any time until the end of the thematic program, and will be considered as long as funds remain available. APPLICATION FORM

IMA postdoctoral fellowship provide an excellent opportunity for mathematical scientists near the beginning of their career who have a background in and/or an interest in the wide variety of fields related to the annual program year theme.

IMA Postdoctoral Fellowships run one to two years, at the option of the holder, starting in the Fall. Applications are generally accepted beginning in August of the preceeding year until all positions are filled.

Applications are taken through the MathJobs site of the AMS.

IMA industrial postdoctoral fellowships are designed to prepare mathematicians for research careers in industry or involving industrial interaction. IMA industrial postdoctoral fellowships run two years starting in the fall. They are funded jointly by the IMA and an industrial sponsor, and holders devote 50% effort working with industrial scientists and 50% effort on a combination of their own research and the IMA activities.

IMA Postdoctoral Fellowships run one to two years, at the option of the holder, starting in the Fall. Applications are generally accepted beginning in August of the preceeding year until all positions are filled.

Applications are taken through the MathJobs site of the AMS.

New Directions Research Professorships provide an extraordinary opportunity for established mathematicians—typically mid-career faculty at US universities—to branch into new directions and/or to develop curricular material at the undergraduate level from the research taking place at the IMA.

Successful applicants spend the academic year immersed in the thematic program at the IMA. Expected outcomes include a research program influenced by the participation in the IMA program year, and curricular material on topics of the IMA program appropriate for public dissemination.

Research Professors will enjoy an excellent research environment and stimulating scientific program. New Directions Research Professors are expected to be resident and active participants in the IMA annual program.

The New Directions program will supply 50% of academic year salary up to $50,000 maximum. Applications must include a letter from the applicant's department chair indicating that the home institution will provide a minimum of 50% of academic year salary and 100% of health and other relevant fringe benefits.
