Stanford Workshop in Biodemography

Workshop in Biodemography 29-31 October, 2009, Stanford University. The four primary foci this time around are: (1) The use of genomic information on population samples, (2) How demographers and biologists use longitudinal data, (3) The use of quantitative genetic approaches to study demographic questions and (4) How demographers and biologists model life histories.  We have a remarkable line-up of scholars in demography, ecology, evolutionary genetics, and statistics coming to participate and the form of the workshop allows for lots of interaction with a wide range of people.

These workshops, which are supported by a grant from DBSB at NICHD, are intended for advanced grad students, post-docs, and junior faculty who are interested in learning about formal demography and biodemography.

Applications are due by 25 September.  These workshops tend to fill pretty fast.
