Maximising the Potential of Stata’s new Python Capabilities - Live Online Course
COURSE DESCRIPTION TStat’s “Maximising the Potential of Stata’s New Python Capabilities” course offers participants an excellent opportunity to acquire the introductory programming skills required to integrate Python’s capability into Stata. The course opens with an introductory session focusing on the Python programming basics required by users wishing to exploit the Stata – Python connectivity, before moving on to illustrate how to use Python in a Stata environment and the vice versa. In the closing session a series of practical applications will be discussed in order to highlight WHEN and HOW one should exploit the connectivity between Python and Stata for one’s research. At the end of the course, participants are expected to be able, with the aid of the Stata routines implemented during the sessions, to independently implement the methodologies and techniques illustrated during the course by adopting the Stata routines to their own particular research needs. In common with TStat’s training philosophy, each session is composed of both a theoretical component (in which the techniques and underlying principles behind them are explained) and an applied (hands-on) segment, during which participants have the opportunity to implement the techniques using real data under the watchful eye of the course tutor. Throughout the course, theoretical sessions are reinforced using applied case studies, in which the course tutor discusses and highlights potential pitfalls and the advantages of individual techniques. TARGET AUDIENCE This course is of particular interest to sociologists, mathematicians, economists, ethnologists, epidemiologists and political scientists wishing to acquire the basic tools necessary to use Python routines within Stata. PREREQUISITES Participants should having a working knowledge of Stata. No prior knowledge of Python is necessary, although it will be an advantage. PROGRAM The potential of Stata/Python connectivity: an overview Python programming basics Alternative ways to implement Python in Stata: the PyStata Module Calling Python from within Stata Calling Stata from within Python Mata/Python integration Practical examples Stata integration of Python Scikit-learn for Machine Learning Least squares regression in Mata/Python Stata/Python data visualization DATE AND LOCATION The 2026 edition of this training course will be offered online on a part-time basis on the 9th-10th of April from 9:30 am to 2:00 pm CEST.

Joint application for a Marie Skłodowska-Curie Postdoctoral Fellowship at the University of Southern Denmark
The Department of Economics at the University of Southern Denmark invites highly motivated and talented researchers to submit joint proposals under the Horizon Europe Marie Skłodowska‑Curie Postdoctoral Fellowships scheme. Successful proposals will result in a two‑year appointment at our university as a Marie Skłodowska‑Curie fellow. In recent years, we have had a strong track record of securing these grants. Accepted fellows will join the Econometrics and Data Science Research Group at the Department of Economics. The group conducts high‑quality research and teaching in Econometrics, Statistics, Causal Inference, Machine Learning, and Big Data Analytics. Our research platform has been pioneering in applying machine‑learning methods in economics—for example, using image‑recognition algorithms to transcribe historical documents. While data‑science methods are powerful for prediction, uncovering causal relationships is essential for producing evidence‑based policy recommendations. Our group develops new methods and applies state‑of‑the‑art causal inference in Health and Labor Economics to answer key societal questions. Eligibility Candidates of any nationality are welcome to apply. Applicants must hold a PhD degree (obtained no more than eight years ago) and must not have lived or worked in Denmark for more than 12 months within the 36 months preceding the application deadline. The working language is English. The successful candidate has a strong international profile, a solid publication record, and demonstrated potential for research excellence. We offer an ambitious and stimulating research environment, and we expect fellows to actively contribute to the development of the research group. If you are interested in pursuing this opportunity, please send your CV and a short, motivated application outlining: your research field, your project idea, the knowledge and skills you aim to develop during the fellowship, and how your research will contribute to the group. More information about the MSCA Postdoctoral Fellowships can be found at this link. Expressions of interest must be submitted no later than 1 March 2026 to Professor Giovanni Mellace at giome@sam.sdu.dk. Selected candidates will be invited to participate in an online Marie Curie PF masterclass 14 and 15 April 2026. The MSCA Postdoctoral Fellowship deadline is 11 September 2026.
