sounds like a fun project... Gary --- http://gking.harvard.edu ---------- Forwarded message ---------- From: Will Moore <willmoorefsu at gmail.com> Date: Tue, Jul 27, 2010 at 9:43 PM Subject: Volunteer Video Coders Sought To: Gary King <king at harvard.edu> Hi, I am writing in the hope that you can think of a responsible, bright undergraduate student who you believe might be interested in getting involved in a project of mine studying the formations and play selection of NCAA football teams. I have spent the past two years as a volunteer doing opponent scouting analysis for the Florida State football team. This off season I developed a novel data collection scheme for coding game video and I am looking for people who are interested in data analysis to volunteer 5-10 hours/week this fall watching and coding video of football games. If you know of a bright, meticulous, and responsible student who you believe might be interested in considering this opportunity, please copy-and-paste the announcement below the asterisks to an email message to any student you would recommend and believe might have an interest. Please note: familiarity with football is NOT a prerequisite. Volunteers will be trained to use the coding scheme I have developed. In addition, I am especially interested in getting women involved in this project. Football is a very male-dominated enterprise, but there is no reason that the scientific analysis of the game (and, indeed, coaching) should be male-dominated. - Will PS: Please note that this is not my FSU email address. I created this email acct to use for my volunteer work with the FSU Seminoles' football program. My volunteer work for the Seminoles is not part of my job at FSU: I do this work on a volunteer basis outside of my official duties. ****************************** Volunteer Video Coders Sought Are you a rule-oriented person? Do you like to search for patterns others have overlooked? A volunteer football researcher seeks bright, meticulous, responsible students to volunteer 5-10 hours per week from 5 August through Thanksgiving watching video from NCAA football games and code them using a coding scheme. No experience as a football fan or a coder are required: we will train our coders, and the coding scheme is not one that will be familiar to football fans. If you are interested in scheduling an interview to learn more about this opportunity, please send a copy of your resume, an unofficial copy of your transcript, and the name and email address of the Professor who told you about this opportunity to: willmoorefsu at gmail.com. All inquiries of interest will receive a response, and those selected will be schedule for an interview using video-skype. Inquiries of interest will be considered on a rolling basis until the positions have been filled.

If anyone is interested in some RA work helping out with Amelia-related things, please see below. Gary --- http://gking.harvard.edu ---------- Forwarded message ---------- From: Majid Ezzati <mezzati at hsph.harvard.edu> Date: Wed, Jul 14, 2010 at 3:16 AM Subject: Amelia help contact point To: Gary King <king at harvard.edu> Cc: John Lin <JLIN at hsph.harvard.edu>, Gitanjali Singh <GSINGH at hsph.harvard.edu> Hi Gary, Is there one of your current students/post-docs/programmers who would be an Amelia expert.? We have a dataset that has a few dimensions (time and geography are the key ones) and we want to impute some missing covariates. In addition to John's question yesterday, we are running into other things about model specification, including some errors. The manual helps but we still have questions.? If there is a reference person, we would be grateful for some basic help from them.
