LMS Grants and Funding

Computer Science Small Grants - Deadline Tuesday 15 April ()

Funding for grants up to £500 is available to support a visit for collaborative research at the interface of Mathematics and Computer Science either by the grant holder to another institution within the UK or abroad, or by a named mathematician from within the UK or abroad to the home base of the grant holder. 

LMS 150th Anniversary Postdoctoral Mobility Grants – Deadline Friday 25 April ()

The London Mathematical Society will award grants up to £9,200 to mathematicians of excellent promise. The purpose of the grants is to support a period of study and research in mathematics between three and six months in the academic year 2014-15 at one or more institutions other than the holder’s home institution. Applications are also welcome from candidates with circumstances that make moving impractical (for example childcare responsibilities), who may opt to remain living at home while making shorter visits to other institutions across the three to six month period. The grants are intended to support promising researchers during the transitional period between having submitted their thesis and the start of their first post-doctoral employment.

The value of the grant will be calculated at £1,200 per month plus a travel allowance of up to £2,000.At the time of the closing date applicants have to be UK residents. Successful candidates must have submitted their thesis within twelve months before the start of their grant period. Grant holders are allowed to teach up to three hours a week. Otherwise they are expected to spend their working time on study and research. For any queries on the scheme applicants should contact pmg@lms.ac.uk

Childcare Grants – Applications accepted all year round ()

Up to £200 Supplementary Childcare Grants for parents to enable parents to attend conferences and research meetings

Grace Chisholm Young Fellowships - Applications accepted all year round ()

Each year, the Society offers two fellowships of £1,000 (consisting of £500 personal support and £500 contribution to a host institution) to mathematicians who need support when their mathematical career is interrupted by family responsibilities, relocation of partner, or other similar circumstance.

Research Workshop Grants – Applications can be made at any time but should normally be submitted at least 12 months before the proposed workshop ()

Other News

Gresham College Lectures in Mathematics 2014

Gresham College are running two series of lectures in mathematics, which will be given by Raymond Flood and Tony Mann

The next lecture by Tony Mann is “Might as well toss a coin: How random numbers help us find exact solutions” – Monday 17th March, 6pm, Barnard’s Inn Hall

The next lecture by Raymond Flood is “Modelling the Spread of Infectious Diseases” – Tuesday 18th February, 1pm; Museum of London. The series illustrates how mathematics has developed more recently and what mathematics can, cannot and hopes to achieve.

Mathematics Teacher Training Scholarships (third round deadline: Monday 28 April; 9am)

The LMS is working with IMA, RSS and MEI to offer 250 Scholarships for secondary maths teacher trainees in the 2014/15 Academic Year.  Changes this year include an increase in value to £25,000 (replacing any bursary entitlement) plus a range of membership and other benefits for both the training and NQT year.   The third of 6 application rounds is now open and applications should be submitted by 9 a.m. on 28th April.  Further information including how to apply can be found on .uk/careers/teacher_scholarships.cfm

INI Call for proposals (deadline: thursday 31 july)
