Math+X Investigators: The Math+X Investigator must be a current tenured faculty member at a U.S. or Canadian institution, with a primary appointment in the mathematics department. The Investigator will be expected to teach in both the mathematics and the X departments, be appointed in both departments by the award start date (courtesy appointments will be allowed), and attend an annual meeting at the Simons Foundation, to be arranged by the foundation. There are no citizenship requirements.
The foundation reserves the right to determine eligibility but, typically, a ‘primary appointment’ is defined as one where an Investigator is a full-time employee of an academic institution and with a teaching load that is comparable to that of other faculty members in the same department.

Title
Math+X Investigators Program
Agencies
Simons Foundation (Simons)
Description
The Simons Foundation invites nominations for the Math+X Investigators program.
This program is designed to encourage novel collaborations between mathematics and other fields in science or engineering by providing research funds to professors at United States and Canadian universities to establish programs at the interface between mathematics and another field of science or engineering.
Level and Duration of Funding: A Math+X Investigator is appointed for a period of five years and will receive research support in an amount of $300,000 per year, which includes 20 percent in indirect costs to the awardee’s institution. Renewal for an additional five years is contingent upon the evaluation of scientific impact of the Investigator. Renewal beyond the ten-year period will not be considered. Appointments will begin July 1, 2015.
A Math+X Investigator position may be interrupted and resumed for reasons that would normally justify a leave from a university, such as illness, the need to care for family members or time off for national service. Periods of sabbatical or research leave do not count as interrupting the Investigator position. Support may be withdrawn at any time at the discretion of the foundation, but it is expected that termination of the award at times other than five years would occur only rarely.
