Workshops
Math-to-Industry Bootcamp: The Math-to-Industry Boot Camp is an intense six-week session designed to provide graduate students with training and experience that is valuable for employment outside of academia. The program is targeted at Ph.D. students in pure and applied mathematics.
- Bridge to the Doctorate: The B2D Fellowship is an intensive post-baccalaureate training program, with the goal of preparing Fellows for admittance and success in PhD programs upon the completion of the Fellowship
- AMIGAs @ IPAM: AMIGAs is a week-long summer program for incoming second or third year graduate students, designed to support and train a new generation of mathematical scientists in applied and computational mathematics, with a special emphasis on increasing the number of women, particularly those from historically excluded racial groups, in both academia and industry.
- Big Data Summer Institute: The Big Data Summer Institute is a six-week interdisciplinary training and research program in biostatistics that introduces undergraduate students to the intersection of big data and human health — a rapidly growing field that uses quantitative analysis to help solve scientific problems and improve people’s lives. This is open to undergraduates at an accredited school or university with an interest in scientific research and some background knowledge of computing/programming and an introduction to the theory of probability, calculus and linear algebra, but are flexible on prerequisites.
- Roots of Unity: This week-long workshop is designed to support women, particularly women of color, who are in years 1–3 of graduate school and are considering research in algebra, combinatorics, geometry, topology, or number theory. This program runs every other summer, and first ran in 2022.
- EDGE : The EDGE program is designed to strengthen the ability of women and minority students to successfully complete graduate programs in the mathematical sciences. The program offers many opportunities to meet this goal.
- “Women in Data Science and Mathematics 2023”: The third research collaboration workshop, WiSDM 2023, will be held on the UCLA campus during August 7-11, 2023. This workshop builds on successes from WiSDM 2017 and 2019.
Student Research Programs: IPAM offers several versions of its Research in Industrial Projects for Students (RIPS) program, a summer research experience for students of math and related disciplines. Students work in teams on projects sponsored by industry. The application process begins in November for the following summer. Undergraduate students may apply to RIPS-LA and RIPS-Singapore; graduate students may apply to GRIPS-Berlin or GRIPS-Sendai, for a specific project.
Stanford PRISM: Stanford Postdoctoral Recruitment Initiative in Sciences and Medicine (PRISM) was created in 2017 to bring together excellent graduate students from a variety of backgrounds and excellent postdoctoral mentors.
Women in Mathematics: The Women+ and Mathematics Program (W+AM) at the Institute for Advanced Study has been an annual program since 1994 with the mission to recruit and retain more women in mathematics. W+AM aims to counter the imbalance of those entering mathematics training as well as the higher attrition rate of female and underrepresented groups of mathematicians at every critical transition stage in mathematical careers. W+AM encourages mathematicians to form collaborative research relationships and to become active in a vertical mentoring network spanning a continuum from undergraduates to emeriti professors, which provides support and reduces the sense of isolation experienced by many underrepresented groups in mathematics. While there are a number of programs targeted solely at undergraduates, or graduate students, or postdocs, very few programs provide the depth and breadth that come from simultaneously including features tailored for undergraduate students, graduate students, and researchers from a broad spectrum of US institutions, all in one united community of scholars, as W+AM does.
The IAS School of Mathematics is committed to developing and fostering a successful living and learning environment for our diverse mathematical community, in which all are valued. We recognize that diversity includes a range of gender identities and expressions. W+AM is open to all that support its mission. All, regardless of gender, are welcome to apply, and women are especially encouraged to apply.
