SUMMARY:Introduction to Bayesian Statistics for Social Scientists
DESCRIPTION:This course will familiarise students with the basic concepts of Bayesian theory. It is designed to provide an introduction to the principles\, methods\, and applications of Bayesian statistics. Bayesian statistics offers a powerful framework for data analysis and inference\, allowing for the incorporation of prior knowledge and uncertainty in a coherent and systematic manner. \n\nThe course covers: \n\nThe Basics of Probability\nBayes’ Theorem and Bayesian inference\nProbability Functions\nBayesian Conjugates\nMarkov Chain Monte Carlo\nApplications\n\n  \nBy the end of the course participants will: \n\nBe able to understand the basics of Bayesian analysis\nPerform simple Bayesian analyses\nApply simple models to their own work\n\n  \nThe course will be split across two days. On both days\, participants will work through a two-hour pre-recorded lecture in the morning and attend a two-hour live session at 2pm where they will have the opportunity to apply their learning to practical examples.

SUMMARY:Introduction to Longitudinal Data Analysis
DESCRIPTION:In this course you will learn both how to clean longitudinal data as well as the main statistical models used to analyse it. The course will cover three fundamental frameworks for analysing longitudinal data: multilevel modelling\, structural equation modelling and event history analysis. \nThe course is organised as a mixture of lectures and hands-on practicals using real-world data. During the course\, there will also be opportunities to discuss also how to apply these models in your own research. \n  \nOutcomes: \n\nTo gain competence in the concepts\, designs and terms of longitudinal research.\nTo be able to apply a range of different methods for longitudinal data analysis.\nTo have a general understanding of how each method represents different kinds of longitudinal processes.\nTo be able to choose a design\, a plausible model and an appropriate method of analysis for a range of research questions.\n\n\nTopics covered by session \n\n13.03.2025  – Data cleaning and visualization of longitudinal data \n21.03.2025 – Cross-lagged models (covering also an introduction to Structural Equation Modelling and auto-regressive models) \n28.03.2025 – Multilevel model of change (covering also an introduction to multilevel modelling) \n04.04.2025 –  Latent Growth Modelling \n11.04.2025  – Survival models (also known as event history analysis)

SUMMARY:Excellence at Interview- Grants and Jobs Masterclass
DESCRIPTION:An interview is a precious opportunity to make a positive\, memorable impression and advance a researcher’s career. Thorough preparation is vital\, and that means working on style as well as content. The way candidates conduct themselves\, present ideas and respond to questions has a powerful influence on the way they are perceived. Even an academic front-runner can come unstuck if he or she lacks ‘presence’ and has difficulty interacting with others. \n  \nThe topics addressed include: \n• Principles of effective interviews \n• Managing nerves and appearing confident \n• Achieving physical and vocal presence \n• Engaging the interview panel \n• Responding convincingly to questions. \n  \nCourse participants learn how to do themselves justice under interview conditions. They develop a clearer\, more authoritative interview style that allows the strength of their ideas to shine through. After the course\, you’ll be able to get access to a course summary\, follow-up material and the VOX Academy – an online repository of written guidance\, lively videos and other resources to help you extend your learning and take your communication skills to the next level.
