Eligibility And Place Of Tenure
AARMS postdoctoral fellowships are awarded, on the recommendation of its Scientific Review Panel (SRP), to beginning researchers who received their PhD no more than four years before the Stage 1 deadline. Applications will be considered from those who anticipate receiving their PhD before the proposed start time of the fellowship, however the PhD must be in hand before actually beginning the fellowship. AARMS will provide $30,000 per year for the fellowship and the supervisor is responsible for organizing matching funds of at least $17,500.  In addition, AARMS will provide travel funding of up to $1500 per year for all AARMS funded postdocs. It is typically expected that the proposed supervisor will not be the same person as the applicant’s PhD supervisor, and that the proposed Postdoctoral Fellowship will be at a different university than the one at which the PhD was awarded. The proposed supervisor(s) must be a full-time tenure track or tenured faculty member at an AARMS member university, and the proposed research must be in the Mathematical Sciences or a closely related field.  A co-supervisor who is outside of Atlantic Canada may be proposed but the postdoc may not spend more than one semester per year outside Atlantic Canada.

Duration
Normally two years. Funding for the second year is dependent upon satisfactory performance demonstrated in the detailed progress report submitted by the supervisor(s).
