The PRE Workshop allows students to learn more about and prepare for pre-doctoral opportunities.

This tuition-free course begins <strong>July 5</strong> and will run to <strong>August 12. </strong>Participants will receive a $2,000 stipend and STATA license as part of the course<strong>. </strong>Interested students should apply </span><span><a href="https://cmu.ca1.qualtrics.com/jfe/form/SV_4HMPza2B83q4bhY" rel="nofollow external" class="bo"><span>here</span></a></span><span> by <strong>May 20.</strong> The course will give students an opportunity to:</span></p><p><span>·<span>        </span></span><span>Develop their ability to pose and answer meaningful questions in the social sciences using a rigorous research methodology</span></p><p><span>·<span>        </span></span><span>Gain experience with large, real-world data sets</span></p><p><span>·<span>        </span></span><span>Prepare, present, and get feedback on a research project from discipline experts</span></p><p><span>·<span>        </span></span><span>Sharpen their professional and communication skills through a series of weekly workshops</span></p><p><span>·<span>        </span></span><span>Network with fellow students interested in a similar career</span></p><p><span>·<span>        </span></span><span>Further understand the pathway to a career in research</span></p><p><strong><span><br></span></strong><span><a href="https://predoc.org/pre-workshop" rel="nofollow external" class="bo"><strong><span>PRE Workshop</span></strong></a></span><span><br>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. </span><span><a href="https://forms.gle/s6JPkSvbtagU8whS6" rel="nofollow external" class="bo"><span>Interested students can apply here. </span></a></span><strong><span>All applications are due by May 29, 2022 at 11:59 p.m.</span></strong><span>Additional questions can be sent to </span><span><a href="mailto:info@predoc.org" rel="nofollow external" class="bo"><span>info@predoc.org</span></a></span><span>.</span></p><p><span> </span></p><p><span>Thank you for sharing with your network.</span></p><p><span> </span></p><p><span>Best,</span></p><p><br></p><p><strong><span>Michelle Skinner</span></strong><span></span></p><p><span>PREDOC director</span><span></span></p><p><span>PREDOC | Pathways to Research and Doctoral Careers</span><span></span></p><p><span>Pronouns of reference: she/her/hers</span><span></span></p><p><a href="https://predoc.org/" rel="nofollow external" class="bo"><span><img width="303" height="35" src="https://mail.google.com/mail/u/0?ui=2&amp;ik=c063faa335&amp;attid=0.1&amp;permmsgid=msg-f:1732642225089327473&amp;th=180b94ec7d4ab171&amp;view=fimg&amp;fur=ip&amp;sz=s0-l75-ft&amp;attbid=ANGjdJ8x31C9ztxrVarN1yoPxTtYpsfE76VelNct9zTgEnJg5UM1X1SDnqipSza2qH0O85IiXUlA2YiQZu-QeaXvBM4XSHd9nMWd2A1AwGIluVb-ZiVImzdAJDedQPU&amp;disp=emb&amp;realattid=180b9494af14ce8e91" style="max-width: 100%; height: auto;"></span></a><span></span></p><div><br></div></div></div></div></div>
