Application Fact Sheet    — Application DEADLINE January 28, 2009

Guidelines and Information

Some mobility between the Research in Mathematics and Graduate Summer School programs is expected and encouraged, but interested candidates should read the guidelines carefully and apply to the one program best suited to their field of study and experience. Postdoctoral scholars who are working in the field of Analytic and Algebraic Geometry should apply to the Research Program in Mathematics , not to the Graduate Summer School.

Graduate students who are beyond their basic courses and recent PhDs in all fields of mathematics are encouraged to apply to the Graduate Summer School. Funding will go primarily to graduate students. Postdoctoral scholars not working in the field of Analytic and Algebraic Geometry should also apply, but should be within four years of receipt of their PhD.

Deadline for submission of applications is January 28, 2009.Supplemental materials must be received in the PCMI office by February 4, 2009..  Please plan accordingly.  (Late applications may be accepted at the discretion of the organizers.) Response may be expected in early April. All undergraduate faculty interested in participating in the Summer Session, including those who have participated in the past, must apply for admission.

Be sure to read the guidelines and requirements before accessing and completing the online application. Incomplete application packages cannot be forwarded to the selection committee.
