The Security and Political Economy (SPEC) Lab at the University of Southern California is welcoming applications from current undergraduate students for an 8-week intensive research training program, “Data Science and the Political Economy of International Security” in summer 2022. The program, which runs from June 13th to August 5th, includes training in research methods and work as a research assistant on faculty-led projects related to the political economy of security.
The program is funded by the National Science Foundation and all participants will receive free housing on the USC campus, travel reimbursement, and a stipend. (They plan for the program to be in-person and will follow public health guidance from USC and local government officials.) They particularly welcome applications from first-generation college students, minority students, and other students from under-represented groups, however all undergraduate students graduating after August 2022 are encouraged to apply.
Additional information on the program can be found on their SPEC program page.
