Joint IMA-NIST Postdoctoral Fellowship

The IMA has openings for joint NIST-IMA Postdoctoral Fellowship in Analysis of Machine Learning. The position is intended for mathematical scientists at an early stage of their career.

Preference will be given to those who have completed their Ph.D. within three years of the start of the appointment. Jointly funded by IMA industrial partners and National Institute for Standards and Technology (NIST), the fellowships began August 29, 2022, and can be renewed for up to a total of two years. The postdocs will devote 50% effort to projects on topics of interest to NIST and 50% effort on their own research under the mentorship of a University of Minnesota faculty. The position carries an annual salary of $62,000 and an allowance of up to $2,000 for professional travel. The fellow will teach one course per academic year.

The NIST-IMA Industrial Postdoctoral Fellowship, similar to the IMA Industrial Postdoctoral Fellowship, is ideal for mathematical scientists who wish to pursue careers in national labs, industrial or academic positions that involve interactions outside of academia.
