Posted: 12/6/2024 ()
The Max Planck Institute for Demographic Research (MPIDR) is inviting applications from qualified and highly-motivated students for a Summer Research Visit. The goal of the Population and Social Data Science Summer Incubator Program is to enable discovery by bringing together data scientists and population scientists to work on focused, intensive and collaborative projects of broad societal relevance.
For a period of 3 months (June 2nd – August 22nd, 2025) participating students will work in small teams, with support from experienced mentors, towards a common research goal. For the summer of 2025, the focus of the program will be on three main research areas:
1) “Climate Change and Mobility” mentored by Risto Conte Keivabu, Ebru Sanlitürk, and Monica Alexander (University of Toronto);
2) “Machine Learning for Life Course Trajectories” mentored by Linda Vecgaile, Bruno Arpino (University of Padova) and Emilio Zagheni;
3) “Mortality in War Settings” mentored by Yvette Young, Diego Alburez-Gutierrez, Enrique Acosta (Centre d’Estudis Demogràfics -CED) and Irena Chen.
