The African Institute for Mathematical Sciences Next Einstein Initiative (AIMS NEI; www.nexteinstein.org) invites early career African academics of postdoctoral standing to apply for the AIMS Small Research Grants in Climate Change Science.
ELIGIBILITY:
- Applicants should be of African descent but could be residing anywhere in the world.
- Applicants must hold a doctorate in a quantitative discipline including, but not limited to, applied mathematics, climatology, physics, chemistry, computer science, statistical ecology, or engineering.
- Applicants not based in Africa must be able to hold the grant in an institution on the continent.
- Applicants should demonstrate evidence of research in either climate change science with applications of mathematical concepts or in mathematical sciences with practical applications to climate change adaptation, mitigation or resilience.
- Applicants should demonstrate expertise or ability to (co-)supervise Master’s and/or PhD students if intending to establish a research group/team. Such a research group/team could be established in collaboration with a senior project advisor. The Grantee must have a recognized (co-)supervisory role in the project.
- Applicants should demonstrate an ability to translate climate change science research concepts to applicable solutions or recommendations. This is particularly important for proof-of-concept, pilot, industry-led, policy-, and community-driven projects.
- Applicants must be willing to hold an affiliation at an AIMS Centre of their choice and spend a portion of their grant time in that Centre as a visiting researcher should the need arise.
- Applicants should be willing to actively participate in a conference that will be organized as part of the Mathematical Sciences for Climate Change Resilience program.
- Applicants must be willing to contribute to a non-technical publication/bulletin which will highlight their work.
- Applicants should be able to take up the grant within four months of receiving the grant award letter.
SCHOLARSHIP VALUE: USD 10 000 per Grantee
