Project Groups

PhD students, postdoctoral fellows, and faculty of all levels are encouraged to apply. Project abstracts can be accessed via the drop down arrows next to each project title.

Here is some additional information:

• Each project will have senior group leaders, problems, and research groups selected in advance (like at the Women in Numbers workshops). After building a foundation during the workshop, research teams will be expected to continue their research and write papers on their results. To increase the visibility of these collaborations, they will also be expected to submit their results for publication in respected, peer-reviewed research journals.

• Applicants to work on project groups will rank their preferred projects. They will also submit a CV, brief description of their research interests and background, and (for graduate student applicants) a letter from their PhD advisor. In addition, due to the key goal of fostering longer-term increases in diversity in this research community's collaborations, applicants to the collaborative workshop will be encouraged to answer at least one of several optional questions about collaboration and diversity.

• The following will be taken into account in forming project groups:

  • • Appropriate background for projects the applicant has selected, as assessed by organizers and project leaders

    • Vertical integration of project groups

    • Prior success in collaborations

    • Willingness to reflect on issues of diversity and collaboration dynamics, e.g. as demonstrated by answering at least one of the 3 questions in the application

    • Gender, in an effort to include senior men and women and junior men and women with appropriate mathematical expertise on each team
