The Emerging Applications Section (EAS) of the Royal Statistical Society (RSS) is seeking enthusiastic individuals to volunteer and join the Committee for 2019.
The section is concerned with the study, informal debate and discussion of statistical subjects across a wide range of fields of application with a view to making statistical developments accessible to a broad general audience. EAS covers diverse, niche, and emerging application domains, and often demonstrates the applicability and value of new methodological enhancements in the context of such applications. We aspire to generate the Study Groups and Sections of the future (a successful example of this is with the creation of the Environmental Statistics Section). The EAS Committee includes representation from across Academia and Industry. We welcome collaboration and interaction with other Sections, Study Groups, Local Groups, and RSS members. We organise several public scientific meetings a year, and contribute to sessions at both the RSS and US Joint Statistical conferences, RSS Discussion meetings (previously known as ‘Ordinary’ or ‘Read paper’ meetings), and nominations for RSS honours and awards.
Being a member of the Committee is a commitment and can be a very rewarding experience. It is also an opportunity to actively engage with others who are interested by and appreciate the importance of statistics. We are particularly looking for people who are keen to contribute new ideas to the Committee’s activities, as well as actively help organise events. We are keen to have volunteers who, after settling in, may be interested in additional officer roles, such as Chair, Vice-chair, Secretary, or Meetings Secretary, or who would be happy to represent us at Discussion or Publication Network meetings. We hold around four-six committee meetings per year, which can be attended in person at Errol Street (and travel expenses paid), or remotely by teleconference. A lot of our core business is communicated over email.
If you would like to be considered for one of the committee positions, simply send an email (subject line “Emerging Application Section 2018”) to [log in to unmask] by 6pm on Monday 26th November 2018, with either a paragraph (250 words max) summarising your background and why you’d like to join the committee or alternatively your CV.
Please note that to take up a position you will need to be a Fellow of the RSS.
