The Coordinated Theoretical-Experimental Project on QCD
will organize and conduct the
CTEQ School
on
QCD and Electroweak Phenomenology
at
University of Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania, USA
18 - 28 July 2017
The school will be locally hosted by
PITT PACC,
and the Monte Carlo Tutorial Sessions will be organized with the
cooperation of the
MCnet Collaboration.
References in preparation for the School
can be found on the CTEQ Pedagogical Page
The School is ideally suited for advanced graduate students and
recent PhDs.

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:
