The upcoming Association for Women in Mathematics Workshop for Women Graduate Students and Recent Ph.D.s will be held in conjunction with the annual Joint Mathematics Meetings in San Diego, CA, January 9 - 12, 2013.
Format: The AWM Workshop talks in San Diego will focus on number theory. Participants will be selected in advance of the workshop to present their work. Recent Ph.D.s will join senior women in a special session on algebra and number theory where they will give 20-minute talks. The graduate students will present posters. Poster presenters will be chosen from all fields of mathematics. Through a grant provided by the National Security Agency, AWM will offer partial funding for travel and hotel accommodations for the selected participants. The workshop will also include a reception and a luncheon. Workshop participants will have the opportunity to meet with other women mathematicians at all stages of their careers.
Eligibility: To be eligible for selection and funding, a graduate student must have made substantial progress towards her thesis and a recent Ph.D. must have received her Ph.D. within approximately the last five years, whether or not she currently holds a postdoctoral or other academic position. Women with grants or other sources of support are welcome to apply. All non-US citizens must have a current US address.
All applications should include:
- a title of the proposed poster or talk
- an abstract in the form required for AMS Special Session submissions for the Joint Mathematics Meetings
- a curriculum vitae
- one letter of recommendation from a faculty member or research mathematician who knows the applicant's work - in particular, a graduate student should include a letter of recommendation from her thesis advisor.
Applications (including abstract submission via the Joint Mathematics Meetings website) must be completed electronically by August 15, 2012. Application Submission Links are:
