Calling all PhD students!
Do you have your eye on a conference taking place this year, but need some sponsorship to get there? Have you conducted research or packaged experiments on Chameleon and Trovi? Do you want an experience that will provide valuable insights on how you can make your research more reproducible and effective?
If the answer to at least some of these questions is “yes” we may have a great opportunity for you!
We’re excited to announce that we are starting recruitment for another round of our Reproducibility Ambassador program.
To apply, submit an expression of interest form or email Rani Irawan (raniayu@uchicago.edu) with the Subject: “RepAmb: Application Inquiry”. If you are selected, you’ll receive travel assistance of up to $1,000 through reimbursement (travel + registration fees) to attend a conference of your choosing.
Reproducibility Ambassadors will:
- Package two experiments of their choice from their selected conference (published in recent years or at the conference),
- Upload two short videos (2-3 mins) showcasing each artifact on YouTube,
- Attend the selected conference and organize a small event on reproducibility (birds-of-a-feather, coffee chat, or poster session). See past event report here!
Ambassadors are encouraged to engage generally with the community on common reproducibility challenges throughout the conference.
Applications are accepted on a rolling basis. Funds are limited. Apply ASAP to ensure a spot.
Note: Some constraints apply to the grant for conference attendance. Be sure to read the details about what is covered in our CFP.
