Application Form

To apply for the School please fill out the online application form at https://academicjobsonline.org/ajo/jobs/635
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.

All materials must be received by 30 April 2011.

Please note that enrollment will be limited to 80 participants.

A registration fee of $600 covers the participant's portion of lodging aswell as all meals.
