Grants to USA, Canada, and International Ph.D. students, postdoctoral researchers, and untenured faculty to participate in a seminar program. Applicants must register through the application portal prior to applying. Funding will cover most participant costs during the program.
The summer institute is currently offered annually. The location of the SICSS alternates between Princeton University and Duke University. Most participant costs during the institute, including housing and most meals, are covered, and travel expenses are reimbursed up to a set cap.
The instructional program involves lectures, group problem sets, and participant-led research projects. There are also outside speakers who conduct computational social science research in academia, industry, and government. Topics covered include text as data, website scraping, digital field experiments, non-probability sampling, mass collaboration, and ethics. There are ample opportunities for students to discuss their ideas and research with the organizers, other participants, and visiting speakers.
Participants with less experience with social science research will be expected to complete additional readings in advance of the Institute, and participants with less experience coding will be expected to complete a set of online learning modules on the R programming language. Students doing this preparatory work will be supported by a teaching assistant who will hold online office hours before the institute.
GrantWatch ID#: 183561
The program accepts about 30 participants.
Next SICSS: June 13-26, 2021
