Application Form

To apply for the School please fill out the online application form.

The online form will collect your basic contact information, a SHORT statement of current research (just a few sentences), and allow you to upload an (optional) "Curriculum Vitae & Publications" document. It will also send an email request for a letter of reference to someone you specify. All materials are collected online via the AcademicJobsOnline website; do not send hard-copies of any materials.

Applications still being considered on a space-available basis. Review of Applications Begins: 1 March 2017. (Note: Available financial aid will be distributed beginning 1 March 2017.)

Enrollment will be limited to 80 participants.

A registration fee of US$500 covers the participant's portion of lodging as well as most meals. A limited number of fellowships covering all or part of the registration fee will be available.

EMAIL: For questions, you may contact: cteq.school@gmail.com Do not send applications to this email -- all application material is collected online.
