MGB-SIAM Early Career Fellowship

MGB-SIAM Early Career Fellowship


The MGB-SIAM Early Career Fellowship recognizes the achievements of early career applied mathematicians–particularly those belonging to racial and ethnic groups historically excluded from the mathematical sciences in the United States—and provides support for professional activities and career development. The fellowship reflects a joint commitment by Mathematically Gifted & Black (MGB) and SIAM to promote long-term engagement of fellows within SIAM and continued success within the wider applied mathematics and computational sciences community.

About the Fellowship

An MGB-SIAM Early Career Fellowship will allow for multiple opportunities to network within the SIAM community. These may include, but are not limited to, special thematic luncheons, professional development workshops and organization, committee shadowing, cohort-specific activities, as well as formal and informal mentoring.

Each year, a cohort of 5-8 fellowships will be awarded, with a fellowship duration of three (3) years.

Fellows will:

  • Receive complimentary SIAM membership for the duration of the fellowship;
  • Receive 50% reduction in SIAM membership fees for the four (4) years immediately after their fellowship has ended; 
  • Have registration fees waived and receive $700 of travel support to attend the SIAM Annual Meeting each year for the duration of the fellowship;
  • Have registration fees waived and receive $700 of travel support to attend one additional SIAM Activity Group conference of the fellow’s choice in the United States or Canada.
