One of the common concerns raised by LMS members and other mathematicians relates to the observation that the beginning of the 2020/21 academic year may find new PhD students working remotely. The Society is also acutely aware that many mathematicians between PhD and research position or between research positions may be delayed in starting their next job.
The Society have built on our Scheme 3 research networks and expertise to enhance the education of beginning postgraduate students and to support early career researchers. The Society invited its Scheme 3 networks to facilitate a short series of five or six lectures in their subject area to be delivered to a live on-line audience and to be recorded for future use. Links to these lectures can be found below.
To support the production of these lectures, the Society have provided a supplementary grant of up to £1,000 (depending on the size of the network) which may be used as an honorarium (typically £700) for the person/people preparing and delivering the lectures. The courses have been prepared and delivered by people who were attached to the Scheme 3 networks but do not yet hold a permanent position. The material has been quality controlled by more senior members of the Scheme 3 network. A comprehensive list of our networks is here.
