The NSF's Mathematical and Physical Sciences program (CFDA 47.049) aims to advance scientific knowledge and...
The National Science Foundation Division of Mathematical Sciences awarded a $150,000 Project Grant to support a POSTDOCTORAL RESEARCH FELLOWSHIP from June 1, 2021 through May 31, 2025. The grant was awarded under the Mathematical and Physical Sciences program (CFDA 47.049), which aims to promote progress in the mathematical and physical sciences and strengthen the Nation's scientific enterprise. The four-year fellowship funding will support postdoctoral research activities focused on advancing...
The National Science Foundation (NSF) awarded a $190,000 Postdoctoral Fellowship under the Mathematical and Physical Sciences (CFDA 47.049) program to Ryuichi Haney at Harvard University. The 4-year fellowship, starting on Sep 1, 2025, supports Haney's research project titled "Arithmetic Aspects of Open Gromov-Witten Theory" under the mentorship of sponsoring scientist Denis Auroux. This award reflects NSF's mission to advance mathematical and physical sciences and strengthen the...
This National Science Foundation (NSF) Directorate for Mathematical and Physical Sciences award for the "WOU-MMA: BRIDGE, THE NEXT GENERATION: A POSTDOCTORAL FELLOWSHIP PROGRAM IN MULTI-MESSENGER ASTROPHYSICS" project provides $1,412,322 over 5 years starting on September 1, 2023. The project, part of the NSF's Mathematical and Physical Sciences program (CFDA 47.049), will establish a postdoctoral fellowship program at Fisk University to train future leaders in the emerging field of...
This Project Grant award from the National Science Foundation (NSF) under the Mathematical and Physical Sciences program (CFDA 47.049) provides $220,000 to support a postdoctoral fellowship for Adrian Fraser at the University of Colorado Boulder. The funding will enable Fraser to conduct research and simulations on the Tayler-Spruit dynamo, a hypothetical turbulence phenomenon in rapidly rotating, magnetized stellar interiors. The goal is to improve understanding of how the cores of stars spin...
The National Science Foundation (NSF) awarded a $522,928 Project Grant under the Mathematical and Physical Sciences (CFDA 47.049) program to President and Fellows of Harvard College. The grant will fund a legacy spectral line survey of 40 protoplanetary disks using the Submillimeter Array (SMA). The research team will survey 120 GHz of bandwidth between 210 and 370 GHz at high spectral resolution to study the chemistry of the outer disk regions, beyond the water snowline, where comets and most...
The National Science Foundation awarded a $150,000 Project Grant to support a Postdoctoral Research Fellowship from June 1, 2021 through May 31, 2025 under the Mathematical and Physical Sciences program (CFDA 47.049). The fellowship funding will allow the recipient to advance scientific knowledge and understanding of major problems through research in the mathematical sciences over the four year period at their place of performance in Woodbridge, Indiana.
