Resources

For Students
Advice for Succeeding in Graduate School
  • Great resources for Ph.D. students from Prof. Chris Blattman at the University of Chicago
  • ​Ideas on how to be a (successful) graduate student, from Prof. Steve Manson at the University of Minnesota.
  • Graduate school (and research more generally) is a humbling experience. You should expect to be challenged.
  • Some modest advice from Stephen Sterns, and a more uplifting reply from Ray Huey.
  • Failure is an important part of the process.

Finding a Job (academic or not)
  • Several additional thoughtful pieces by Dr. Steve Manson, at the University of Minnesota:
    • Finding a job with an academic degree
    • Advice on your CV or resume
    • Some reasons NOT to apply for an academic job

Research, Writing, and Presentations
  • Getting started in the research process
  • Some advice - again from Dr. Manson - for planning a research project (particularly a GIS-based one)
  • Writing a literature review
  • An excellent style guide for technical writing from Joe Schall from Penn State University

Funding Resources
  • UCLA fellowship database
  • National Institute of Justice Graduate Research Fellowship (GRF)
