SLMath will award research memberships in the one-month AxIOM Machine Learning for Mathematics, which will be held March 1 - 26, 2027. 

This AxIOM brings together mathematicians and machine learning experts to identify research problems suitable for ML methods and to develop open-source computational alternatives to proprietary tools. Participants will work in focused groups to generate new research projects and to understand how the emerging methods of ML for math can be applied in their field.

These positions are reserved for researchers who will be in residence for at least one week, and preference may be given to those who can attend for longer periods.  SLMath will provide local accommodation or reimburse participants for out-of-pocket lodging costs.

Deadline: Complete applications, including a letter of support, must be submitted by March 31, 2026.

Eligibility: Researchers with a PhD (or equivalent) or advanced graduate standing at the time of the AxIOM.

The Simons Laufer Mathematical Sciences Institute (SLMath), formerly MSRI, has been supported from its origins by the U.S. National Science Foundation, joined by other government agencies, over 110 Academic Sponsor departments, private foundations and corporations, and generous and farsighted individuals.
