To get a better idea about workshop activities and focus, please take a look at the 1995, 1996, 1997, 1998, 1999, 2000, 2001, 2002, 2003, 2004, 2005, 2006, and 2007 workshop pages.
Participation at the workshop will be limited to fifteen graduate students. Student travel (up to a reasonable limit), accommodations, and living expenses will be supported by the workshop.
Applicants ideally should have completed a minimum of two years of graduate study in economics or other social science fields and be actively pursuing research in computational social science (highly qualified applicants who do not meet these exact criteria will also be considered). Interested students should submit a recent curriculum vitae, at least one letter of recommendation, two other references, and a one page outline of a current or proposed research project in computational social sciences. Preference will be given to applicants who best demonstrate the ability to successfully complete research in this area.
Women and minorities are encouraged to apply.
The application deadline is 15 March, 2008.
Completed applications should be submitted on line.
(While we strongly encourage you to apply online, if necessary you may send a hardcopy (do not bind these materials in any manner) via postal mail to: Graduate Workshop in Computational Social Science, Attn: Lee Goodwin, Santa Fe Institute, 1399 Hyde Park Road, Santa Fe, NM 87501 USA.)
All materials (including recommendation letters) must be received by the 15 March, 2008 deadline.
