There is a need for instructors of data science, survey methodology and statistics at the 2019 PSI International Summer Institute for Data Science, Survey Methodology and Interdisciplinary Research & Applications (PSI International) to be held in Korea from July 1 to July 26, 2019 for university students and professionals across Asia-Pacific and also in Havana, Cuba from August 5 to August 16, 2019 for university students and professionals across Latin America.
The PSI International Working Group requests your pro bono instruction for students and professionals in Asian countries in transition.

Instruction for the 4-week-long PSI courses is modeled after the 68-years old Summer Institute at the University of Michigan, a renowned international training program of survey methodology, as well as Joint Program in Survey Methodology of University of Maryland. PSI target beneficiaries are graduate students and professionals in Asian countries who would benefit from survey methodology and statistical training that involves fundamental and advanced courses. The courses to teach include: sampling theory and applications, statistics, data science, survey methodology, census methods, questionnaire design, computer-assisted collection and analysis of survey data, Bayesian methods, business survey methodology, biostatistics, education survey methodology, R statistical computing, data visualization, and statistical use of administrative records. English is the official language of instruction.
Room will be provided to instructors, but instructors will need to cover most of their travel cost unless supported by their affiliated institutions. If interested, please contact Mr. Gary Shapiro ([email protected]), Past Chair of Statistics without Borders (2010-2012); Mr. Justin Fisher ([email protected]), Past Chair of Statistics without Borders (2012-2014); or Dr. Asaph Young Chun ([email protected]), PSI Director and Chair of the PSI international working group.
