Fellowship Amount: One award will be made for the 2027-2028 academic year in the amount of US$75,000. AMS membership also will be offered to the recipient for the duration of the fellowship. Acceptance of the fellowship cannot be postponed. The award is issued through the recipient's institution, however, institutions may not charge costs of any kind to AMS fellowships, such as fringe benefit rate, indirect costs, or overhead.

Eligibility: 

The eligibility rules are as follows:

• The primary selection criterion for the Centennial Fellowship is the excellence of the candidate's research.
• Preference will be given to candidates who have not had extensive fellowship support in the past.
• Recipients may not hold the Centennial Fellowship concurrently with another research fellowship such as a Sloan, NSF postdoctoral fellowship, or CAREER award.
• Under normal circumstances, the fellowship cannot be deferred.
• A recipient of the fellowship shall have held a doctoral degree for at least three years and not more than twelve years at the inception of the award (that is, received between September 1, 2015, and September 1, 2024, for the award beginning in August 2027).

Applications will be accepted from those currently holding a tenured, tenure-track, postdoctoral, or comparable (at the discretion of the selection committee) position at a U.S. institution.

Applications should include a detailed research plan for the fellowship period that is contextualized by the research statement. The plan should include a description of how the fellowship will support the applicant's success. It should be no more than one page. The selection committee will consider the plan in addition to the quality of the candidate's research and will try to award the fellowship to those for whom the award would make a real difference in the development of their research careers. Work in all areas of mathematics, including interdisciplinary work, is eligible.
