Mathematics Research Communities (Research conferences for early-career mathematicians.)

June 5, 2016 - June 25, 2016

Snowbird, Utah

A program of the AMS funded principally by the National Science Foundation, Mathematics Research Communities foster the formation of self-sustaining cohorts of early-career mathematical scientists by supporting summer conferences, collaboration grants, and special sessions at the Joint Mathematics Meetings focused around research topics of common interest. In 2016 the summer conferences are: June 5–11, (a) Lie Group Representations, Discretization, and Gelfand Pairs and (2) Character Varieties-Experiments and New Frontiers; June 12–18, Algebraic Statistics; and June 19–25, Mathematics in Physiology and Medicine. The 2016 program is aimed at mathematicians whose career stage is between two years pre-PhD and three years post-PhD, with interest in one of these areas, and whose background makes them ready to engage in hands-on collaborative research under the mentorship of experts in the respective fields. Applications are open through March 1, 2016, on the program web site.
