About This Opportunity

The London Mathematical Society administers two £6,000 travel awards funded by the Cecil King Memorial Foundation for early career mathematicians, to support a period of study or research abroad, typically for a period of three months. One Scholarship will be awarded to a mathematician in any area of mathematics and one to a mathematician whose research is applied in a discipline other than mathematics. The scholarships are designed to provide early career mathematicians in the United Kingdom or the Republic of Ireland with valuable international research experience and the opportunity to establish independence and gain experience beyond their PhD. The program encourages applications from groups under-represented in UK mathematics, including women, disabled, Black, Asian and Minority Ethnic mathematicians.
