NCRM and ICLS Autumn School 2016: The use of biomarkers in social science research
31st August – 2nd September 2016
The University of Manchester
Limited places still available. Applications from PhD students now welcome
The National Centre for Research Methods (NCRM) will be holding its eleventh residential training event for post-doctoral researchers in Manchester. This year the School will be run in conjunction with the International Centre for Lifecourse Studies in Society and Health (ICLS) and is led by Professors Meena Kumari and Tarani Chandola. There are 25 fully funded (travel, accommodation) places for early career researchers and PhD students from across the social sciences.
This Autumn School is designed to cover the methodological implications of using biological data for social science research purposes. There are an increasing number of high quality longitudinal survey datasets with biomarker data collection. However, most social scientists are not trained in the use of standard sets of biomarkers that have been collected in surveys. In addition, newer biomarkers covering genomics, epigenetics and metabolomics are also increasingly available in such datasets, for which standard protocols of measurement and analysis are still being developed.
