MATHEMATICS RESEARCH FELLOWSHIPS 2013
ICTP, Miramare - Trieste, Italy

The Abdus Salam International Centre for Theoretical Physics (ICTP)
invites applications for a small number of fellowships for outstanding
mathematicians from developing countries.
- Visiting Fellowships are open to mathematicians of any age and fund
visits of between 1 and 12 months to ICTP during the year January -
December 2013;
- Post-Doctoral Fellowships are intended for younger mathematicians who
have obtained a PhD in mathematics after 1 January 2009. They have a
12-month duration with a possibility to be renewed for a further 12 months.
Preference is given to candidates who will benefit most from the time
spent at ICTP, in the sense of pursuing their own research, using the
ICTP facilities, interacting with other mathematicians, and ultimately
turning the fellowship into a positive opportunity for their home
institution or country as well as for themselves.
In particular, the selection panel will pay particular attention to the
research record (publications in good international journals) and
potential (recommendation letters from established senior
mathematicians) and to evidence that at least one of the following
conditions is satisfied:
- The research interests of the candidate are close to those of one of
the scientific staff members at ICTP or at neighbouring institutions; and/or
-The candidate has a detailed and realistic research project that does
not require supervision, interaction or collaboration with other
researchers in the area.  (If possibilities exist for collaborating with
mathematicians in Italy or more generally in Europe, please highlight this.)
We also welcome applications from small groups - two or three scientists
who wish to spend some time working on a joint project  at ICTP.
Candidates should apply online
(http://www.ictp.it/research/math/highlights/fellowships.aspx).
Candidates for longer term visits and Postdoctoral fellowships should
also arrange for three letters of recommendation (instructions for
submission of letters of recommendation will be provided after
submission of the online application).
Deadline for applying:   31 July 2012
Successful candidates will have the possibility to participate in the
Mathematics activities of ICTP, the International School of Advanced
Studies (ISAS/SISSA) and the University of Trieste, as well as the
opportunity to interact with visiting mathematicians.
