The Einstein Institute of Mathematics hosts an REU program every summer since 2022.
We are now accepting applications for Summer 2025!
Get a glimpse into research mathematics at the Hebrew University of Jerusalem
The Einstein Institute of Mathematics welcomes 2025 applications for a summer research program for undergraduate students:
• June 3-July 31, 2025
• Weekly stipend of approximately $250 included
• Dormitory housing included
• Airfare and health insurance not included
Why do an REU at the Einstein Institute? Spend your summer in a stimulating environment with peers who are equally excited by mathematics, and delve into cutting-edge research while personally mentored by a leading researcher in the field. You’ll immerse yourself in background reading in a particular field of interest, tackle problems and gain deeper understanding, draft results and present them to your peers at the program’s conclusion. And that’s not all! In your spare time, you’ll enjoy the vibrant city of Jerusalem in the company of other international students in the Mathematics at HUJI, including a series of social and academic activities tailored just for you.
Potential mentors and areas of research:
• Alexander Sodin: Spectral theory, analysis.
• Jake Solomon: Symplectic geometry, open Gromov-Witten theory, special Lagrangian submanifolds, connections with physics.
• Itay Kaplan: Model theory.
• Or Landesberg: Ergodic theory, homogeneous dynamics, hyperbolic geometry.
• Shai Evra: Graph theory, representation theory.
A few more mentors will be added soon.
Eligibility: Math majors entering their final year of undergraduate studies, or recent B.A. graduates.
Application: The following documents should be submitted in PDF format to REU.Math@mail.huji.ac.il:
• A one-page statement of mathematical interests
• Academic transcript (applicants must demonstrate familiarity with core undergraduate subjects)
• Two academic letters of recommendation
Note: The two letters should be submitted directly by the recommenders to the email address listed above. Both applicants and recommenders should include the applicant’s name in the email subject line.
We will begin looking at applications starting Feb 15, but applications are welcome after that as well.
