Postdoctoral and Visiting Membership Program

Each year the Institute is host to a large number of visiting scientists. Some are distinguished senior scientists on leave from their home institutions. Some are Courant Instructors who have half teaching and half research positions. Others are postdocs whose main duties are to assist with the Institute's many resarch projects. There are also other visitors who come with external support, typically from the National Science Foundation or a comparable foreign agency such as Canada's NSERC, Italy's CNR, or France's CNRS.

The Courant Institute Instructorships are highly competitive postdoctoral positions for recent PhDs. Candidates must have a degree in mathematics or an affiliated field. These appointments last up to three years, and carry a teaching load of one course per semester. This program and its predecessors have existed in one form or another since 1956, financed by various government agencies, industrial organizations, and private foundations.

Applications for Courant Instructorships are due December 16th, 2011 for the following academic year.  Applications must be submitted via www.mathjobs.org  .

PIRE project on Percolative and Disordered Systems Program

The PIRE project on Percolative and Disordered Systems is funded by NSF's program Partnerships for International Research and Education. This collaborative, multi-institutional project involves faculty from Courant-NYU, Latin America, and Europe. Its principal goal is to strengthen international collaborative research and educational activities in random spatial processes including percolative and disordered systems.

NYU-Columbia RTG Numerical Mathematics for Scientific Computing

The NSF-funded Research and Training Group (RTG) includes 14 faculty from NYU and Columbia. The principal goal of our group is to train researchers focusing on development of algorithms for numerical problems in engineering, medicine, business, and the arts, and their implementation in scientific software.
