Project NExT (New Experiences in Teaching) is a year-long professional development program for new or recent PhDs in the field of mathematical sciences. It is designed to connect new faculty with expert teachers and leaders in the mathematics community and address three main aspects of an academic career: teaching, research and service.

The Mathematical Association of America is among the largest community of mathematicians and students, and works to advance the understanding of mathematics and its impact on the world. In 1994, two of MAA’s members founded Project NExT to assist in the professional development of new or recent PhDs in the mathematical sciences. The fellowship addresses all aspects of an individual’s academic career, including the improvement of teaching and learning of mathematics, the engagement in research and scholarship, the search for exciting and interesting service opportunities, and the participation in professional activities. The program also provides participants with a network of peers and mentors as they assume these responsibilities.
