Postdoc

The ICES Postdoctoral Fellowship Program was created in 2001 through an endowment donated to the University of Texas at Austin. The purpose of the program is to fund outstanding computational scientists who have recently completed doctoral studies in areas relevant to research conducted at the Institute. Fellowship stipends are approximately $60,000 per year. In addition, fellows receive UT employee benefits and relocation expenses up to $1,000. Under the terms of the endowment, preference is given to applicants who are U.S. citizens, but qualified foreign students will also be considered.

Requirements

  • Candidates must display a significant ability to contribute to interdisciplinary research efforts in the areas of computational engineering, scientific and mathematical modeling, computational and applied mathematics, and computational visualization. In general, fellowship recipients collaborate in research under the supervision of one or more ICES faculty members for one year. The fellowship may be extended for an additional year depending on performance and availability of funds.

  • Teaching is discouraged. However, especially compelling requests must be presented to the ICES Director for approval before any teaching offers are accepted.

Application Materials

  • Letter of interest addressed to the Director of ICES

  • 100-200 word narrative of proposed work in interdisciplinary research in computational and applied mathematics including the name(s) of the ICES faculty member(s) with whom you are interested in working. (Candidates are encouraged to contact ICES faculty members regarding research interests in their area of expertise.)

  • Curriculum Vitae

  • Three letters of recommendation

  • Copies of professional articles, papers and publications

Deadline

  • Applications are due January 3, 2012 (late submissions will not be considered).

  • Fellowship awards are for the period September 1, 2012 - August 31, 2013.
