Our grant has funds to support four postdocs. Two were hired last year, and we are hiring two this year (to start August, 2016).
1. You must either hold a PhD in the mathematical sciences (or in a related discipline) or be a graduate student who will complete such a PhD before taking up the position.
2. You must be a US citizen, national or a permanent resident.
3. As stated by NSF, "An RTG postdoctoral associate may not have held the doctoral degree for more than two years as of January 1 of the year in which his or her appointment begins. Any exceptions to this restriction, occasioned for example by a career interruption, must be approved on a case-by-case basis by the cognizant program officer."
Teaching: On average, you will teach one couse per semester (fall and spring). Which courses you teach will be decided by you and your mentor. Note that we do not expect (or encourage) our postdocs to teach six different courses. It is better to select a few you enjoy and teach them two or three times, and use the remaining time for other pursuits.
Reaserch: In conjunction with working with your faculty mentor (the topic of which is determined in consulation with your mentor), you will be expected to paricipate in the various research and mentoring activities we are involved with. This includes the RTG research seminar, helping to organize and run Applied Math Days, organizing mini-symposia at national meetings, etc.
