SFI's Computational Modeling Workshop

[Darren Schreiber]

Below is an announcement for the the Santa Fe Institute's workshop on
computational modeling.  I attended this two summers ago and had an
incredible time.  Your fellow students will be extremely bright and
motivated, your instructors will give you unique skills and insights,
and you will probably even meet a few Noble Prize winners.  Santa Fe
is a beautiful place to spend two weeks, even if you do end up
working a lot of very late nights.

I highly recommend this opportunity.  You might even run into Marcus 
if you're lucky.


            Eighth Annual Santa Fe Institute Graduate Workshop in
            Economics

            Computational Modeling and Complexity

            14-27 July, 2002, Santa Fe, NM


            The Santa Fe Institute Economics Program is pleased to
            announce the eighth annual Graduate Workshop in Economics.
            The workshop will bring together a group of advanced
            graduate students and a small faculty for an intensive two
            week study of computational economics. The workshop will
            consist of lectures by faculty, special topic seminars by
            members of the Santa Fe Institute, and presentations of
            work in progress by graduate student participants. The
            primary goal of the summer workshop is to assist graduate
            students pursuing research agendas which include a
            computational component. A significant portion of the
            workshop will be devoted to analyzing and improving
            research being conducted by the graduate student
            participants.


            To get a better idea about workshop activities and focus,
            please go to http://zia.hss.cmu.edu and look at the
            1995, 1996, 1997, 1998, 1999, 2000, and 2001 workshop pages.


            Participation at the workshop will be limited to fifteen
            graduate students. Student travel (up to a reasonable
            limit), accommodations, and living expenses will be
            supported by the workshop.


            To Apply


            Applicants ideally should have completed a minimum of two
            years of graduate study in economics and be actively
            pursuing research in computational economics (highly
            qualified applicants who do not meet these exact criteria
            will also be considered). Interested students should
            submit a recent curriculum vitae, at least one letter of
            recommendation, two references, and a one page outline of
            a current or proposed research project in computational
            economics. Preference will be given to applicants who best
            demonstrate the ability to successfully complete research
            in the area of computational economics.


            Women and minorities are encouraged to apply.


            Completed applications should be sent to Scott E. Page at
            the Michigan address below.


            The application deadline is 12 April, 2002.
