How to Apply
Participation in the school is open to practising astrophysicists at all levels.
The number of participants will be limited to about 25. An application may be submitted
on-line
and this is the preferred method. If there are difficulties with this, applications filled in the
prescribed downloadable form
(MSWord/
OpenOffice/
Text/
pdf),
may be submitted via email to
astrostat@iiap.res.in.
Particular attention must be paid to demonstrating the relevance of the school to the
applicant's research. The deadline for receiving the completed application forms is
the 10th April, 2008. In addition,
the applicants who are yet to obtain a Ph.D. degree should arrange to have two confidential recommendations from persons
who can judge the applicant's academic abilities and the relevance of the school to the applicant's research. These
recommendations, also on the prescribed recommendation form
(MSWord/
OpenOffice/
Text/
pdf),
should be emailed separately by the recommenders to
astrostat@iiap.res.in by
the 10th April, 2008. Post-Ph.D. applicants need not arrange for recommendation
letters but must attach their curriculum vitae and list of research publications to the completed application form. Those that
participated in the first IIA-PennState Astrostatistics school (2007) are discouraged from applying for
the 2nd school.
