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.

2011 Clay Research Fellow announced

Peter Scholze, born 1987 in Dresden, Germany, completed his MSc in 2010 under the supervision of Michael Rapoport at the University of Bonn and is currently working on his PhD thesis there. His interest lies in the field of arithmetic geometry where he has been working on the bad reduction of Shimura varieties and the Langlands program.

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:
