[Mathmajors] Summer research opportunities

[Math & ACMS Student Services Office]

the PREDOC x Opportunity Insights Summer Course in Big Data
<https://predoc.org/education#summerCourse> and the PRE Workshop
<https://predoc.org/pre-workshop>.  Taught in collaboration with
Opportunity Insight, this Summer Course in Big Data will provide students
with six weeks of instruction that will hone their coding skills and
further their ability to utilize large data set to answer questions in the
social sciences. The PRE Workshop allows students to learn more about and
prepare for pre-doctoral opportunities. More information on both
opportunities is below.

*PREDOC x Opportunity Insights Summer Course in Big Data*
<https://predoc.org/education#summerCourse>
This course will have two tracks, one for students who are considering a
transition to the social sciences and want to learn more about a variety of
fields in Economics, and one for students who are ready to engage in more
advanced analysis and want to produce a capstone project. This tuition-free
course begins *July 5* and will run to *August 12. *Participants will
receive a $2,000 stipend and STATA license as part of the course*. *Interested
students should apply here
<https://cmu.ca1.qualtrics.com/jfe/form/SV_4HMPza2B83q4bhY> by *May 20.* The
course will give students an opportunity to:

·        Develop their ability to pose and answer meaningful questions in
the social sciences using a rigorous research methodology

·        Gain experience with large, real-world data sets

·        Prepare, present, and get feedback on a research project from
discipline experts

·        Sharpen their professional and communication skills through a
series of weekly workshops

·        Network with fellow students interested in a similar career

·        Further understand the pathway to a career in research


*PRE Workshop* <https://predoc.org/pre-workshop>
The PRE Workshop will take place June 12 and 13, 2022 with all sessions
occurring remotely. PREDOC hosts this annual conference for prospective
pre-docs to learn more about and prepare for pre-doctoral opportunities.
Current pre-docs, researchers, and students host panels that focus on
applying for pre-doc roles, preparing to succeed as a pre-doc, and best
practices in research. The conference is also an opportunity for students
to participate in a coding exercise, where participants will work through a
data task that resembles what one might see when applying to pre-docs.
PREDOC is able to supply six-month STATA licenses to workshop participants
who need them. Interested students can apply here.
<https://forms.gle/s6JPkSvbtagU8whS6>*All applications are due by May 29,
2022 at 11:59 p.m.*Additional questions can be sent to info at predoc.org.



Thank you for sharing with your network.
