WORKSHOPS
FOR WOMEN GRADUATE STUDENTS AND POSTDOCTORAL MATHEMATICIANS
supported by the Office of Naval Research and
the Association for Women in Mathematics
Over the past eighth years, the Association for Women in Mathematics
has held a series of workshops for women graduate students and
recent Ph.D's (referred to as "postdocs" below) in conjunction with
major mathematics meetings.
WHEN: The NEXT WORKSHOP in the series will be held in conjunction with
the Society for Industrial and Applied Mathematics (SIAM) Annual
Meeting at Stanford University, Stanford, California, July 14-18,
1997. This workshop will be held on Monday, July 14th and Tuesday,
July 15th, with an introductory group discussion and dinner on
Sunday, July 13th.
WORKSHOP: The workshop will consist of a poster session by graduate
students, four minisymposia, a group discussion on careers, a panel
on government funding and a dinner with a keynote speaker. The
graduate student poster sessions include all areas of research in
applied mathematics. Each minisymposium will have a definite focus.
The first minisymposium will include four talks about written
communication skills. The three remaining minisymposia will focus
on the research areas of Mathematical Modeling, Optimization, and
PDEs and Applications.
Applications for funding must be received by AWM by March 1, 1997.
Selected graduate students participants will present their research
in a poster session. Selected postdocs (those within five years of
their Ph.D.) will speak in one of the three AWM research
minisymposia. AWM will offer funding for travel and 2-days
subsistence for up to 20 participants. Departments are urged to
help graduate students and postdocs obtain some supplementary
institutional support to attend the Workshop and the associated
meeting. All mathematicians (female and male) are invited to
attend the entire program.
DISCUSSION GROUP LEADERS: We also seek volunteers to lead
discussion groups and to act as mentors for workshop participants.
If you are interested in volunteering, please contact the AWM
office.
ELIGIBILITY: To be eligible for funding, GRADUATE STUDENTS must have
begun work on a thesis problem. Applications should include a cover
letter, an abstract of their work, a curriculum vitae, and a
supporting letter of recommendation from a faculty member or
research mathematician. Applications from POSTDOCS should include a
cover letter, an abstract of their work, curriculum vitae, and may
also include a letter of recommendation. Letters of support are
encouraged. The word "POSTDOC" refers to any mathematician who has
received her Ph.D. within the last five years, whether or not she
currently holds a postdoctoral or other academic position. All
funded participants are invited and strongly encouraged to attend
the full AWM two-day program. All non-U.S. citizens applicants must
have a current U.S. address.
Send FIVE complete copies of the application materials (including the
cover letter) to:

For the time being, I am back to being the newsletter editor, but I will be graduating soon, so I am looking for a volunteer to take over the newsletter. Here are some familiarities that would be helpful (but are not necessary): Unix, MathNet System, Netscape, Netscape Mail, HTML, Emacs.
If you are interested, please contact me via email (kolda@math.umd.edu). -Tammy
