Mathematical Opportunities

Spring 2024 Scientific Workshops at SLMath (Berkeley, CA & Online)

Calls for Applications / Graduate students, Postdocs/early career, Mathematical scientists/faculty

The Simons Laufer Mathematical Sciences Institute (SLMath, formerly known as MSRI) in Berkeley, California welcomes registrations for our Spring 2024 workshops, listed below. SLMath workshops are free of charge to attend, thanks to the generous support of our funders, including the National Science Foundation.

Please check www.msri.org/workshops for full details, as some workshop dates or details may be subject to change. An updated schedule of all talks, including online broadcasts, will be posted in advance of each event to the workshop webpage.

>> Connections Workshops are open to all and aim to give accessible introductions to the main themes of the research program and exciting new directions in related research and the work of women in the field and connecting early-career researchers, especially women, gender-expansive individuals, and minorities, to potential senior mentors.

>> Introductory Workshops set the stage and broadcast the goals, ideas, and techniques related to SLMath research programs.

>> Hot Topics Workshops showcase what is new, innovative and interesting to the mathematical sciences community at the present time, focusing on areas with a high level of activity.

Register Online: https://www.msri.org/workshops.
Registration may require creating a free msri.org account for first-time registrants.

Funding Support: Established researchers, postdoctoral fellows, and graduate students are invited to apply for funding. Funding awards are typically made eight weeks before the workshop; requests received after the funding deadlines are considered only if additional funds become available. Groups underrepresented in research-intensive contexts including women, gender-expansive individuals, minorities, and mathematicians not located at research centers are welcomed and encouraged to apply.

Resources for Workshop Attendees: SLMath is pleased to be able to offer a private room for nursing parents. Childcare grants are available for researchers with children under the age of 18 (limited to US Citizens and Permanent Residents, and foreign visitors with a visa status that allows for compensation, such as a J-1). See website for full details.
