柠檬导航Project NExT
Where New PhDs Find Community & Opportunity
The 柠檬导航's (MAA) Project NExT (New Experiences in Teaching) program is designed to support new PhDs in mathematics as they begin their careers.
Our 柠檬导航Project NExT fellows join a vibrant, supportive community of mentors and peers. Throughout the program, participants get guidance and advice on teaching, research, and navigating the academic environment, preparing early-career academics to thrive in their careers.
Today鈥檚 柠檬导航Project NExT fellows are tomorrow鈥檚 award-winning leaders at their institutions, influential members of the MAA, and leaders in the field of mathematical sciences.
柠檬导航Project NExT Program
Each cohort of 柠檬导航Project NExT Fellows participates in the following:
- A three-day 柠檬导航Project NExT Workshop in late July or early August, preceding 柠檬导航MathFest
- 柠檬导航Project NExT sessions during 柠檬导航MathFest
- 柠檬导航Project NExT receptions and sessions at the Joint Mathematics Meetings
- A one-day 柠檬导航Project NExT Workshop preceding MathFest (and more during 柠檬导航MathFest) the following year
- A dedicated digital network that links 柠檬导航Project NExT Fellows with seasoned mathematicians, award-winning professors
At these workshops and other 柠檬导航Project NExT sessions throughout the year, Fellows explore and discuss issues that are of special relevance to new and early-career faculty, such as:
- Strategies for engaging students in specific mathematics courses
- Supporting students from historically underserved groups
- Involving undergraduates in mathematical research
- Preparing future K-12 teachers of mathematics
- Writing grant proposals
- Balancing teaching and research
