The letter of application should specify collaborating researchers or research groups of the Institute of Mathematics, as well as the preferred period for the stay.

Candidates should further arrange for three letters of recommendation to be mailed directly to director's office, so that they are received by January 31, 2011 (e-mail recommendations are acceptable).
