Applications are invited from students at New Zealand universities for a Kalman Summer Scholarship, to assist their participation in this meeting in January 2016.
The Kalman Summer Scholarships have been established from a generous bequest in support of New Zealand mathematics from the late John Kalman, who was a professor of Mathematics at the University of Auckland for 30 years, until he retired in 1993.
Four or five Kalman Summer Scholarships will be awarded to students, to help cover costs of their participation (including travel, accommodation and meals). Scholarship recipients will be expected to submit a full report to the Trustees of the Kalman Trust, describing what they gained from their participation in the meeting, by mid-February 2016.
Applicants will normally be expected to be studying for an Honours or Masters degree or a PhD.
Applicants should submit an academic transcript, brief CV, and a statement from their academic supervisor (or mentor) that indicates how participation in the summer meeting will benefit the student's development.
Applications will be considered in terms of the academic merit of the students and the relevance of their participation to their course of study. In exceptional circumstances, financial need might be taken into account.
Applications will be judged by a committee that includes a member of the organising committee for the summer meeting.
Applications should be sent to Rod Gover, the NZMRI Secretary, by email to r.gover@auckland.ac.nz, by 15th October 2015.
