Joint
Institutes' Postdoctoral Positions
Joint Institutes' Postdoctoral Positions at the IMA
Application deadline
has passed
Pending funding approval the IMA offers two types of
postdoctoral
appointments in this program. These positions are two-year
appointments.
-
New Directions Postdoctoral Fellowships are for candidates who
are
interested in participating in the 2009-10 Annual Program on
Complex
Fluids and Complex Flows, but do not have prior experience in the field.
Candidates are
asked to name two possible mentors for the first year of the
fellowship, one from the list of IMA
long-term
visitors during 2009-2010 and one from the University of
Minnesota's
School of Mathematics faculty. One of these mentors should
have
expertise in the candidate's current field, the other expertise
in
the Annual Program's theme. The postdoctoral fellow may spend
the
second year continuing his/her research at the IMA, be placed
at another
US university (possibly with light teaching duties assigned,
depending on the University), or take an Industrial Internship at one of the
IMA's
Participating Corporations. Successful applicants must submit
a
research plan for year 2 of the fellowship some time before
June 1, 2010
for approval by the IMA. Details on the application procedure
are given
below. Selection is based on the candidate's qualifications,
the match
with proposed mentors, and the potential to contribute to the
research
topic of the annual program.
- Postdoctoral Industrial Internships place successful
candidates in one of IMA's partner corporations working on a
year-long project. Descriptions of the internships are
provided below. Applicants
should specify up to two internship possibilities in which
they are interested. For the second year, the postdoctoral
fellow may choose to work on a different internship (possibly
with the same company) or be placed at another US university
(possibly with light teaching duties assigned, depending on the
University).
A research plan for year 2 must be submitted by June 1, 2010
for approval. Selection
is based on qualifications and the match with the company
project and mentor.
The following is a list
of available projects. More projects are coming, please check
