Clay Research Fellows

Clay Research Fellows are selected for their research achievements and their potential to become leaders in research mathematics. All are recent Ph.D.'s, and most are selected as they complete their thesis work. Terms range from one to five years, with most given in the upper range of this interval. Current and past fellows are listed on the right.

2012 Clay Research Fellows

Ivan Corwin and Jack Thorne have been appointed as 2012 Clay Research Fellows for four and five years, respectively.

Ivan Corwin received his Ph.D in 2011 from the Courant Institute at NYU under the supervision of Gerard Ben Arous. His interests include probability, mathematical physics, and exactly solvable systems. One part of his research has been to compute exact formulas for the statistics of the solution to the Kardar-Parisi-Zhang non-linear stochastic PDE. more ....

Jack Thorne was born in 1987 in Hereford, England. He received his BA at the University of Cambridge in England. He has since studied at Harvard University and Princeton University under the direction of Richard Taylor and Benedict Gross. He will receive his PhD in May 2012. His primary research interests are algebraic number theory more ...

The Clay Research Fellowship provides a young mathematician employment under ideal conditions for a period of two to five years. A Fellow may work at the location that best suits his or her research; support for travel and research expenses, as well as provisions for collaboration, are available in addition to a generous salary.

Nominations

The primary selection criteria for the Fellowship are the exceptional quality of the candidate's research and the candidate's promise to become a mathematical leader. Most recent appointees were finishing graduate students at the time of their selection, though other mathematicians under age thirty occasionally have been appointed. Selection decisions are made by the Scientific Advisory Board based on the nominating materials described below.

To nominate a candidate, please send the following items by November 1 for full consideration:
