Opportunity Information:

The Simons Foundation is inviting applications for the Simons Fellows in Mathematics program.

According to the foundation, sabbatical research leaves from classroom teaching and administrative obligations can provide strong intellectual stimulation and increase creativity and productivity in study. To foster such growth, the fellows program aims to make sabbatical research leaves more productive by extending them from a single term to a full academic year.

Through the program, forty mathematics fellows each year will receive salary replacement for up to 50 percent (up to a maximum of $100,000) of the fellow's current academic-year salary, whether paid over nine or twelve months, and up to and additional $10,000 for expenses related to the leave. The fellow's home institution will receive an additional 20 percent overhead on allowable expenses. 

Applicants must have a teaching or tenured administrative position within the mathematics department at a U.S. or Canadian college or university. Applicants must be approved for a full year of sabbatical research leave from their home institution, consisting of two consecutive semesters or three quarters with at least 50 percent of the year fully paid by the home university and no more than 50 percent fully or partly supported by the fellowship.

For complete program guidelines, application instructions, and a list of previous fellows, see the Simons Foundation
