Faculty/research scientists at our
Principal Sponsoring Universities (PSUs) and
Principal Sponsoring Institutions (PSIs) are invited to apply on their own behalf (e.g. for a period during a research leave from their own university or institution), or to nominate a visiting mathematical scientist for an
Elliot-Yui Distinguished Visitorship for the purpose of full-time collaborative research. Elliot-Yui Distinguished Visitors can be based at the Fields Institute or, if the collaborators are outside of the Greater Toronto Area, at a Principal Sponsoring University.
Fellowship holders are entitled to a reimbursement of expenses (travel, accommodation and per diem) up to $5,000 for each month of full-time residence, and if they are based at Fields, office space and access to all Fields facilities and activities. The minimum length of residence is one (1) month and the maximum length is three (3) months. Faculty/scientists living in the GTA are ineligible to apply for the Fields Institute EYDV, but may nominate candidates from elsewhere for the visitorship.
All application/nomination materials should be submitted at least three (3) months prior to the proposed start date. Annual deadlines are January 15, May 15, and September 15.
Selection of successful candidates will be made by the Directors of the Institute, in consultation with the Scientific Advisory Panel.
There are no restrictions on the nationality of the candidates. In accordance with our mandate, the Fields Institute encourages applications/nominations from women and under-represented groups.
This visitorship is made possible with the support of Professor George A. Elliott and Professor Noriko Yui, Fields Institute Fellows and long-term members of the Institute.
