Postdoctorates in Industrial Mathematics

IMA announces two-year positions in Industrial Mathematics, effective September 1, 1998. These appointments are in addition to the regular program and are funded jointly by the NSF and participating industries. They are designed to prepare mathematicians for research careers involving industrial interaction. Applicants should have fulfilled all requirements for a Ph.D. in Mathematics, Applied Mathematics or Statistics by September 1, 1998. Postdoctorates will spend 50% effort working with industrial scientists and 50% effort in the regular IMA program. Requirements and application procedures are the same as for the postdoctoral memberships listed above.

The University of Minnesota is an equal opportunity educator and employer.
