Dear Friends, This is a great opportunity for graduate students. The application process is not onerous and a very high percentage of applications are funded. The work can possibly really help SSA as well. I've worked with this group for several years and recommend them very highly. Let me know if you have any questions. PLEASE EXCUSE CROSS POSTINGS.
