<p class="small">
The Paleobiology Database has conducted a five-week intensive training workshop in analytical methods since 2005. Funding for the 2012 edition has been secured. It will most likely be held at <a href="http://www.bio.mq.edu.au">Macquarie University</a> in Sydney, as in 2010 and 2011.
</p>

<p class="small">
Topics include community paleoecology, diversity estimation, speciation and extinction, phylogenetics, phenotypic evolution, and morphometrics. Both simulation modelling and data analysis methods are employed. Training combines lectures and labs. Participants are given hands-on instruction in programming using R and taught to use other analytical software. In addition to the workshop coordinator, each week a new instructor is present.
The 2012 instructors were <a href="http://www.bio.mq.edu.au/~jalroy/"><NAME></a>, <a href="http://paleobiology.si.edu/staff/individuals/hunt.cfm"><NAME></a>, <a href="http://geoweb.tamu.edu/profile/TOlszewski/"><NAME></a>, <a href="http://www.geology.indiana.edu/polly/index.html"><NAME></a>, and <a href="http://paleobiology.si.edu/staff/individuals/wagner.cfm"><NAME></a>.
</p>

<p class="small">
There is no fee for registration and participants will be housed for free in accommodations near the campus. Daily expenses such as meal costs are not subsidized but are only on the order of $10 to $15. Participants are encouraged to solicit travel funds from their home institutions or other organizations. A majority of airfare costs will be reimbursed if such funds are not available. There are no other charges of any kind and no other major expenses are likely.
</p>

<p class="small">
The application deadline is likely to be <b>15 February 2012</b>, and the official announcement is likely to be in the late fall. Here is some additional information in case you are considering applying.
</p>

<p class="small">
Participants are normally in the early stages of their own research in any area related to paleontology. They should have a background in basic statistics. We strongly encourage applications from women and underrepresented groups.
</p>

<p class="small">
Applications consist of a one page statement accompanied by a recommendation letter. The statement should include a brief description of current research plans, a list of degrees earned stating the year of graduation in each case, a brief list of relevant classes taken, and an account of the applicant's background in statistics and programming. Applicants are encouraged to explain why the topics addressed by the workshop are of special interest to them and to what extent these subjects are taught at their home institutions.

About the workshop
</p>

<p class="small">
The Paleobiology Database has sponsored a five-week intensive training workshop in analytical methods since 2005. The <a href="http://www.arc.gov.au/">Australian Research Council</a> and the National Science Foundation's <a href="http://www.nsf.gov/div/index.jsp?div=ear">Division of Earth Sciences</a> will provide funding for the 2012 edition. As in 2010 and 2011, the 2012 workshop will held at <a href="http://www.bio.mq.edu.au">Macquarie University</a> in Sydney. Sessions will be held between 25 June and 29 July.
</p>

<p class="small">
Topics will include community paleoecology, diversity curves, speciation and extinction, phylogenetics, phenotypic evolution, and morphometrics. Both simulation modelling and data analysis methods will be employed. Training will combine lectures and labs. Participants will be given hands-on instruction in programming using R and taught to use other analytical software. In addition to the workshop coordinator, each week a new instructor will be present.
The instructors are expected to be <a href="http://www.bio.mq.edu.au/~jalroy/"><NAME></a>, <a href="http://paleobiology.si.edu/staff/individuals/hunt.cfm"><NAME></a>, <a href="http://geoweb.tamu.edu/profile/TOlszewski/"><NAME></a>, <a href="http://www.geology.indiana.edu/polly/index.html"><NAME></a>, and <a href="http://paleobiology.si.edu/staff/individuals/wagner.cfm"><NAME></a>.

How to apply
</p>

<p class="small">
Participants should be in the early stages of their own research in any area related to paleontology and should have a background in basic statistics. The ability to understand rapidly spoken English is essential. Although the workshop is open to all undergraduates and advanced graduate students, first or second year graduate students are particularly encouraged to apply. Applications from professionals who have completed their studies will be considered but are not given first priority. We strongly encourage applications from women and members of underrepresented groups.
</p>

<p class="small">
Applications should be submitted in PDF format to <NAME> (<EMAIL>). Applications received by the end of Monday, <b>15 February 2012</b> as reckoned in the Pacific time zone will receive priority. Applications should consist of a one page statement. Do not include separate documents such as a curriculum vitae. No form needs to be filled out.
</p>

<p class="small">
The statement should include a brief description of current research plans, a list of degrees earned stating the year of graduation in each case, a brief list of relevant classes taken, and an account of the applicant's previous use of statistics and knowledge of programming. Applicants who do not employ English as a primary language should describe their experiences learning and speaking it. Applicants are encouraged to explain why the topics addressed by the workshop are of special interest to them and to what extent these subjects are taught at their home institutions.
</p>

<p class="small">
Applications must be accompanied by a recommendation letter, also in PDF format, written by the applicant's academic advisor and e-mailed separately. Obtaining a recommendation from anyone who is not an advisor must be explained. It is important that the recommendation give details about the applicant's personal character and abilities, not just credentials and descriptions of research projects. Recommendation letters also should be received by the end of the due date.
