Get Involved!
IBS training supplements on-the-ground preparation with events and courses in professional socialization, writing, and qualitative and quantitative research methods.
Who Can Participate?
All graduate students and postdocs who are admitted through the University of Colorado Boulder’s various social and behavioral science-related departments and programs may be affiliated. Since the Institute of Behavioral Science is not a degree-granting unit, please refer to the admissions materials of the Departments of Anthropology, Economics, Geography, History, Political Science, Psychology, Sociology, the School of Education, and the Environmental Studies Program, among others.
Prospective students and postdocs who are visiting campus are welcome to schedule a tour of the Institute by emailing the IBS Training Director.
Most of our training opportunities are available to all CU-Boulder students and postdocs, regardless of affiliation with the Institute.
How to Get Involved with IBS

To affiliate with the Institute, you can be advised by one of our faculty, or you can be advised by someone else and collaborate on research with one of our faculty or research associates.
- Attend our regular colloquia, giving you the opportunity to learn more about the kinds of research that are conducted at the Institute and interact with Institute personnel.
- Attend our Institute-led training opportunities, which can provide you with expanded knowledge about interdisciplinary research and methods and professional socialization for success in graduate school and in academic and nonacademic settings.
