The Mathematical Sciences Postdoctoral Research Fellowships support early-career researchers in mathematics and statistics, including interdisciplinary applications. Fellows receive funding to conduct impactful postdoctoral research at eligible institutions, advancing their scientific development and leadership potential. Two award options are available: Research Fellowship and Research Instructorship.
Applicants must be U.S. citizens, nationals, or permanent residents with a doctoral degree earned within the last 2 years. They must not have been previous MSPRF awardees or NSF PIs (except certain fellowships). Research must be in mathematics or statistics.
