Why should I become a EWM member?

Community – EWM is a large, active and supportive community of women mathematicians and supporting members. We communicate with each other through our mailing list, newsletter and on social media.

Visibility – EWM makes women mathematicians more visible by keeping a list of distinguished speakers, women portraits, hosting scientific events and more. We also provide links to selected articles and scientific reports on gender equality on our gender studies page.

Mentorship – EWM members offer 1:1 mentoring to younger members to share experiences, get different perspectives, motivate and inspire.

Support – EWM supports women mathematicians by offering conferences and other events to meet each other, advocacy and distributing information through our newsletter, mailing list and job offers. EWM offers travel grants for members who wish to actively participate at scientific events.

EWM JOB OFFERS

How much does it cost to post a job offer?

EWM serves the mathematical community through community events, grants, mentoring, dissemination of information and much more. In the last year, our job newsletter  became increasingly popular, and EWM had to invest a high amount of its resources to keep it up and running.

Therefore, starting from 2022, the EWM Standing Committee has decided to charge 200 EUR per job posting, unless the Job

  • is posted by an EWM member personally for a position on their institute.
  • is posted by an EWM institutional member or corporate partner

In particular this fee applies to postings from commercial service agencies, even if they are done on behalf of an academic institution.

I submitted a job posting, but it did not appear on the page. What went wrong?

All job postings are first reviewed by a moderator before they go online. Depending on the amount of job offers received, the postings are published on the web and sent to our members on our Job Offer Newsletter every 3-10 working days.

If your job offer has not appeared on our Job offer page after 10 working days, you can write to website@europeanwomeninmaths.org for help.

Please note that submissions from commercial organizations are subject to a fee, according to our Job offer pricing.
