2025 ADJOINT Program at SLMath [MSRI] (Individuals & Small Research Groups)

2025 ADJOINT Program at SLMath (MSRI) (Individuals & Small Research Groups)

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

The Simons Laufer Mathematical Sciences Institute (SLMath, formerly MSRI) in Berkeley, California, invites individual and small group applications for the Summer 2025 ADJOINT workshop.

ADJOINT is a yearlong program that provides opportunities for U.S. mathematicians and statisticians – especially those from the African Diaspora – to form collaborations with distinguished African-American research leaders on topics at the forefront of mathematical and statistical research.

Program Dates: June 30 to July 11, 2025

ABOUT ADJOINT
---------------------------------------

All ADJOINT and Self-ADJOINT groups will participate in an intensive two-week summer session at SLMath (formerly MSRI) in Berkeley, California. This participation can be undertaken in either of the following ways:

• ADJOINT invites individual participants to join small groups under the guidance of some of the nation’s foremost mathematicians and statisticians to expand their research portfolios into a new area.
• Self-ADJOINT invites applications from existing or newly-formed independent research groups to work on a new or established research project which they define.

Throughout the following academic year, ADJOINT provides conference and travel support to increase opportunities for collaboration, maximize researcher visibility, and engender a sense of community among participants.

The two-week summer session will take place June 30 to July 11, 2025 in Berkeley, California.

ADJOINT enriches the mathematical and statistical sciences as a whole by providing a platform for researchers, especially members of the African-American mathematical and statistical communities, to advance their research and careers and deepen their engagement with the broader research community.

ADJOINT and Self-ADJOINT participants will:

• conduct research at SLMath within a small group of mathematical and statistical scientists;
• participate in professional enhancement activities provided by the onsite ADJOINT Director;
• receive funding for two weeks of lodging, meals and incidentals, and one round-trip travel to Berkeley, CA.

After the two-week workshop, each participant will:

• have the opportunity to further their research project with the team members including the research leader;
• have access to funding (up to $2,000 per person) to attend conference(s) or to meet with other team members to pursue the research project, or to present results;
• become part of a network of research and career mentors.

---------------------------------------
ELIGIBILITY
---------------------------------------

ADJOINT and Self-ADJOINT applicants must be U.S. citizens or permanent residents, possess a Ph.D. in the mathematical or statistical sciences, and be employed at a U.S. institution.

All members must be in residence and actively engaged in the program 8:30 am - 5 pm daily (without teaching, mentoring, or other professional responsibilities) for its duration: June 30 to July 11, 2025.

Self-ADJOINT researchers may be part of only one group’s application.

Applications are hosted on MathPrograms and require the following (see website for full details and instructions):

• Project Description aimed at a broad mathematical audience
• Statement on alignment with program goals
• A list of all members on the research team, including home institution, email address, confirmation of U.S. citizenship or permanent residency, year of PhD, and current position. Please include gender, racial, and ethnic identification of each member of the research team. This demographic information is voluntary and will enable us to measure our progress with respect to our mission.
