Simons-CRM Scholar-in-Residence Program

The Simons-CRM Research Stay Program, supported by the Simons Foundation, offers mathematicians and researchers in related fields the opportunity to spend several months at the CRM. Its goal is to foster scientific exchange, enrich CRM thematic programs, and strengthen collaboration between the Québec research community and international partners.

The program targets two categories of researchers from outside the CRM local network:

  • junior researchers (PhD obtained within the last 10 years)
  • senior researchers (PhD obtained more than 10 years ago)

During their stay, junior researchers hold the title Simons-CRM Scholar, while senior researchers are designated as Simons-CRM Professor.

Program Benefits

  • Research visits lasting from one to six months, depending on the nature of the project;
  • Coverage of round-trip transportation to Montréal and accommodation, including family housing when required;
  • A research budget for senior researchers to facilitate hosting collaborators;
  • Exceptional possibility of support for home institution to reduce teaching load.

Application Process

Applications may be submitted by the candidate or on their behalf by a researcher, laboratory, or activity organizer affiliated with the CRM.

The following documents must be included:

  • A letter outlining the scientific rationale for the visit and preferred dates;
  • An up-to-date curriculum vitae;
  • A letter of support from a CRM‑affiliated researcher, research group, or event organizer (when applicable).

Evaluation and Deadlines

Applications are reviewed by the CRM International Scientific Committee.

Submission deadlines are:

  • January 10
  • April 1
  • July 1
  • October 1

The start date of the stay must be at least eight months after the corresponding submission deadline.

CRM Commitment

The CRM is committed to applying the principles of equity, diversity, and inclusion of the Université de Montréal and to considering systemic or individual barriers to access—such as those related to ethnicity, gender, or disability—when selecting invited researchers.

Submission

Applications should be sent by email to:
simons@crm.umontreal.ca
