Post-Doctoral Fellowship in Industrial Mathematics

The Institute of Pure and Applied Mathematics (IMPA), through its Project and Innovation Center – Centro Pi, in Rio de Janeiro, Brazil, invites applications for a Post-Doctoral Fellowship in Industrial Mathematics. This is a one-year position that may be renewed for an additional year by mutual consent of IMPA and the position holder. The position offers an after-tax monthly stipend of BRL 5,000.00.

This position is intended for researchers with recent doctoral degrees in Mathematics or related areas such as Computer Science, Engineering, Operations Research, and Statistics. The fellow is expected to establish collaborations with Brazilian industry, broadly understood. If needed, IMPA will assist the fellow in forging such partnerships. 

The fellow’s activities at IMPA’s Project and Innovation Center – Centro Pi, will be a combination of solving problems on-demand from industrial collaborators and pursuing original research related to these problems. Candidates are expected to give evidence of strong potential on both fronts. A past history of industrial interactions is desired, but not required. 

Applications for this position require the following items:

• a cover letter;
• a curriculum vitae;
• a statement of purpose detailing both research and industrial interests;
• the names and contact emails of three reference writers that are familiar with the applicant’s work (whenever possible, one of these recommenders should be in the industry).

The deadline for applications is May 6, 2022. The results will be announced on June 2022. We expect the selected applicant to start their activities at IMPA at any time between July and December 2021. To submit your application, send an email to centropi@impa.br.
