APPLY: Abel Visiting Scholar Program for Mathematicians from Developing Countries 2018/2019

The Niels Henrik Abel Board and the International Mathematical Union invite applications from mathematicians professionally based in developing countries to visit an international research collaborator for a period of one month.

The program is designed for post-doctoral mathematicians in the early stages of their professional careers. It is designed to offer the opportunity for a ‘research sabbatical,’ a necessary complement to teaching and other academic duties for mathematicians desiring to also sustain a viable research program.

WORTH

The grant can cover for one month and only for the applicant:

• Travel costs to the host institution (economy flight or equivalent) Please note that the flight will be booked and directly paid by the IMU Secretariat.
• Accommodation expenses (monthly rent should not exceed 1,200 USD – in case you expect higher accommodation cost, please explain in your application the expected higher cost)
• Travel health insurance
• Basic living cost (daily allowance based on living cost of the visiting country/city, this amount includes the cost for public transport and all other living costs).
• Visa costs

ELIGIBILITY

Applicants must

• Hold at the time of application a PhD in Mathematics,
• Be based in a developing country at the time of application
• Hold a position in a university/ research institution
• Be in the early stages of their professional careers, more precisely: the applicants should not yet be of full professorial rank but have a working contract in a university/ college
• Be under 40 years of age at the day of the application deadline.
• The maximum age may be increased by up to three years in the case of an individual with a broken career pattern. This should be noted in the application together with the reason for the broken career pattern.
