NYU Courant Institute IMPA - BraziL CWI-Netherlands

Introduction

The NSF-funded Partnerships for International Research and Education (PIRE) program at the Courant Institute involves faculty from Courant-NYU, Latin America  and Europe. The principal goal of our program is to strengthen international collaborative research and educational activities in random spatial processes including percolative and disordered systems.

Educational and training activities are primarily at the postdoctoral and PhD student levels but with some availability of undergraduate summer internships.

For detailed information about faculty research and PhD program requirements please visit faculty Web pages and departmental Web sites for NYU Mathematics.

Positions available

Postdoctoral Positions

Applications are invited for postdoctoral positions at NYU's Courant Institute of Mathematical Sciences, funded by the NSF PIRE award Percolative and Disordered Systems: A US-Brazil-Netherlands Based International Collaboration.  Candidates should have received a doctorate in mathematics, physics, or another related field, and have background in one or more aspects of random spatial processes.  Full appointments are for three years with two semesters spent at one or more of our international partner sites.  While in residence in New York, there is a one course per semester teaching requirement.

Applicants are requested to submit current CV, research and teaching statements, and references through www.mathjobs.org. All applicants should indicate potential supervisors among the PIRE faculty.

The applicants should request that all letters of recommendation are submitted on-line, if possible. Hardcopy letters should be send to PIRE postdoc search, c/o Sarah Bellows, 251 Mercer Street, New York, NY 10012-1185.

PhD Fellowships

Applications are invited for doctoral fellowships at the Courant Institute of Mathematical Sciences, jointly funded by the NSF PIRE award Percolative and Disordered Systems and NYU.  Applications are welcome from applicants whose research interests and background match the interests of PIRE faculty.

The applications should be submitted directly to NYU's PhD program in Mathematics. Accepted PhD students will be expected to complete the requirements of the program they enroll in and as well as the additional PIRE opportunity of one semester spent abroad at an international partner institution.  Our group encourages and will provide opportunities for collaboration with researchers at our partnering institutions abroad. 

Applicants should indicate their interest in the PIRE program in the application, and send a message to pire at cims.nyu.edu requesting that the application be considered for PIRE funding.
