Emergent Research: The PIMS Postdoctoral Fellow Seminar

PIMS is pleased to present an ongoing lecture series featuring the research of our postdoctoral fellows. These seminars take place every three weeks and are shared online throughout the PIMS network. Each seminar one highlights the research of a particular PDF and allows them to bringing their cutting edge research to the PIMS community.

The PIMS PDF program sponsors positions across the PIMS network each year. Outstanding young researchers are invited to apply through our mathjobs page. Applicants must be sponsored by a scientist or department affiliated with PIMS, please see the mathjobs posting for details.

To participate in the meeting, please register for the mailing list. Details and reminders for meetings will be sent out to that list.
