[Commlist] Summer Institute in Computational Social Science (SICSS)

from Monday, July 24 to Friday, August 04, 2023, the Summer Institute in 
Computational Social Science (SICSS) will host a partner location at the 
University of Munich.

The purpose of SICSS Munich is to bring together interested Master 
students, PhD students, postdoctoral students, and faculty in Germany. 
The Summer Institute is for both social scientists (broadly conceived) 
and data scientists (broadly conceived).

The instructional program will involve lectures and group problem sets 
in the first week and participant-led research projects in the second 
week. Participants will be able to work in teams to learn how to 
implement the material from the lectures. Covered topics include 
collecting digital trace data, automated text analysis, transparent and 
reproducible research, and research ethics. There will be ample 
opportunities for students to discuss their ideas and research with the 
organizers, other participants, and visiting speakers. One goal of this 
partner location is to build and expand the  network of computational 
social scientists in Germany.

We are inviting applications from Master (graduate) students, PhD 
students, postdoctoral researchers, and faculty. Participants are 
expected to fully attend and participate in the entire two-week program. 
Participants with less experience with social science research will be 
expected to complete additional readings in advance of the Institute, 
and participants with less coding experience will be expected to 
complete a set of online learning modules on the R programming language.

Participation in the summer institute is free of charge. We are 
currently seeking out for additional funding sources and might be able 
to cover some additional expenses for a small number of participants. 
However, please note that as of now, we are unable to provide funding 
for housing or related expenses.
