Are you a researcher looking to improve your causal inference skills? I'm excited to announce that the CJ team @Arnold_Ventures is hosting 3 causal inference workshops this fall! Two are the day before ASC (Nov 12 in San Francisco), and one is the day before APPAM (Nov 20 just outside DC). We will cover all workshop costs, including participants' travel. ** The deadline to sign up is September 25th. ** Huge thanks to @instrumenthull, @jmwooldridge, and @EricChyn for teaching these courses. 🎉 Each section is capped at 40 people, to ensure a great learning environment. If we receive more interest than that, participants will be chosen via a fair lottery. Please spread the word! More info and the link to sign up are here: cvent.me/47WByP

JMCs working on crime/CJ (and those planning to be on the market next year): you can make your own post-doc by applying for project-based funding through this RFP.

Talked with two separate CJ practitioners yesterday who were excited to tell me they were paying academics big $$ to do impact evaluations for them. 💔 Practitioners: You should *never* pay academics to do research. Our currency is publications, so we'll work for data.
