[Air-L] Data Science Intensive Training for Ph.D.s

[Craig Hamilton]

Dear Jose,

I’d be happy to share some of my experiences with you. From a standing start about 18 months ago, during my own PhD, I took a similar decision. During that time I’ve managed to learn some basic programming and have been able to use some data science techniques on my own data. Drop me a line if you’d like to discuss things. To start with, I’d recommend the Partially Derivative podcast. This is a magazine show about data, data science and so on, that will give you a good feel for the field as an outsider. I found this episode from a couple of years ago particularly good as a ‘Where to start’ guide: http://partiallyderivative.com/news/2015/01/09/episode-9-the-one-that-will-totally-change-your-life.

If any other AoIR list colleagues think it would be useful to set up some sort of group discussion/repository of resources for social science/humanities scholars, I’d be happy to be involved.

Kind regards
Craig

Colleagues,

I'm a mid-career Ph.D. social scientist going on sabbatical next year and
I'd like to immerse myself in learning different aspects of data
science/machine learning... I'd be grateful if folks could recommend
programs or opportunities for Ph.D.'s to learn these tools.

Warm regards,
Jose Marichal
California Lutheran University
