Registration is required for each session. If a session has reached capacity for the Zoom webinar, you may stream the presentation on YouTube Live. Please visit the registration webpage on the session date for the YouTube Live link. All webinars will be recorded and made available on the NSF Resource Center webpage following the event.

Three recent American Council of Learned Societies’ Fellowship winners (Eduardo Moncada, assistant professor of political science at Barnard College; Christina Neilson, associate professor of Renaissance and Baroque art history at Oberlin College; and Brent Rodríguez-Plate, professor of religious studies and media studies at Hamilton College–project abstracts available at the links) will provide a panel discussion of how they approached the grant competition, plus Q&A with participants.

This webinar should be useful for faculty at liberal arts colleges who are interested in applying for the ACLS Fellowship and would like a sense of how colleagues at liberal arts colleges have approached the competition. The next two rounds of the ACLS Fellowship are restricted to untenured faculty members who earned their PhDs no more than eight years ago. All of our panelists received the award as untenured faculty, which we hope will make their advice particularly relevant to this year’s applicant pool.

The Office of Grants and Contracts congratulates Assistant Professor of Mathematics and Computer Science, Heather Smith, on two grant awards from the American Mathematical Society (AMS). 

The AMS Mathematics Research Communities (MRC) has funded “Trees in Many Contexts,” a week-long summer 2021 workshop on graph theoretic trees with a focus on applications to biology and chemistry.  Along with collaborators Miklos Bona, Eva Czabarka, Stephan Wagner and Hua Wang, Professor Smith will engage 40 early career mathematicians in research problems in a context that develops collaborative research skills while networking and receiving mentoring.

Professor Smith has additionally received an AMS-Simons Foundation Travel Grant for research-related travel through June 2021.  The AMS-Simons Travel Grants Program acknowledges the importance of research interaction and collaboration in mathematics, particularly for early career mathematicians. The program also includes a structured mentoring component.
