AMS Career Fair at the Joint Mathematics Meetings
Join us every January at JMM to connect in-person with academic employers and employers in Business, Entrepreneurship, Government, Industry, and Nonprofit (BEGIN) sectors. The AMS Career Fair is your chance to discover how your mathematical training makes you a strong candidate and explore a variety of career paths.
Career Fair 2026
The Career Fair will be held in Salons 12 & 13 at the Marriott Marquis during the 2026 Joint Mathematics Meetings in Washington, DC. The event will take place on Monday, January 5, from 12–3 pm.

For Employers
At the Career Fair, employers can connect with hundreds of potential candidates with advanced training in the mathematical sciences. Both academic and non-academic employers can showcase career opportunities to jobseekers who are ready to network and innovate.
Pre-JMM, employers will gain access to our exclusive resume database. Every Career Fair employer receives a 1-day table at the Employment Center, making interviewing candidates at JMM easy and accessible.
The fee for a table at the Career Fair is $750. Each table is 6'.
BEGIN Booth at JMM
People with mathematical training and experience can flourish in careers in Business, Entrepreneurship, Government, Industry, and Nonprofit – where teamwork, collaboration, communication, problem-solving, and different perspectives are key.
Industry representatives who have purchased a Career Fair table are eligible for a 1-hour time slot at our BEGIN Career Booth, where they can network and provide information about their organizations. At the BEGIN Career Booth they will find:
- Talented, energetic, in-training and practicing mathematical scientists
- Opportunities to ask for resumes and distribute business cards and other information
- A centrally-located, turnkey venue in the exhibit area
- Traffic from the anticipated 6,000 JMM attendees
Support
Our work is funded in part by a generous gift from Philippe and Claire-Lise Tondeur. Philippe Tondeur has long worked to connect rising mathematicians with BEGIN career opportunities and we are pleased to use his support in conjunction with SIAM, MAA, ASA, and other participants of the BIG Math Network which coordinates these activities.
