Computational Social Science

The University of Rhode Island is offering a PhD programme in Computational Social Science, a field combining data science, statistics and computing with the study of human behaviour and society. The announcement is drawing attention from prospective students and researchers interested in interdisciplinary training at the intersection of social science and data-driven methods.

Jonathan Mummolo has been appointed to lead Princeton University's Center for Data-Driven Social Science, according to an announcement from the Princeton School of Public and International Affairs. Mummolo, known for his work on research methods and political data science, will guide the center's efforts to apply computational and statistical approaches to social science research.
