_________________________________________________________________
Washington University's Weidenbaum Center and Department of Political
Science sponsor a summer institute on the problems of testing
theoretical models of politics. The institutes are designed for
advanced graduate students and junior faculty whose research and
teaching would benefit from training seminars on the link between
methods of empirical analysis and theoretical models. The 2009 EITM
Summer Institute is comprised of five seminars over a three-week
period, a basic seminar and four advanced seminars (the last week will
provide students with an option to take one of two seminars).
Participants selected for this program will receive a $1,500 stipend.
This will be used to cover their travel, room, and board. Up to 25
participants will receive the stipends. To be eligible for a stipend,
an applicant must plan to be a full-time participant and currently
attend or teach in a U.S. university. Participants are responsible for
all living expenses in St. Louis for the three-week institute.
Funding is provided by the National Science Foundation.
