Summer Research Scholarships
Each year the CHDH offers a number of summer research scholarship positions for undergraduate UniMelb students to work with our researchers. EOIs are currently closed but check back next year for updates.
Summer school
The CHDH previously organized a summer school that taught some of the skills required to develop computational analyses of human behavior. Materials from the 2019 CHDH Summer School are available here.
