POSTDOCTORAL FELLOWSHIP
Applications are invited for postdoctoral fellowship positions in the Department of Mathematics and Statistics at McMaster University. These fellowships provide an opportunity to engage in research in close collaboration with a research group in the department, and with a limited amount of teaching. Positions are tenable for two or three years, depending on funding and the needs of different research groups. These positions are particularly suitable for talented mathematicians or statisticians who have recently completed the Ph.D. degree. To learn more about the department, please visit our web page.
The fellowships are open to candidates of any nationality and selection will be based on the candidate's research potential and fit with a research group in the department. The fellowship normally starts July 1, 2009 and the annual stipend is a minimum of $40,000, plus a $2,000 grant for research expenses. Candidates are required to apply for these fellowships by using the MathJobs website by January 5, 2009. See our advertisement at http://www.mathjobs.org/
Applicants should provide at least three letters of recommendation. At least one of these letters should report on the candidate's teaching abilities. Preferably these letters will be submitted through the MathJobs website (see above); they may also be sent directly to:
