Statisticians.
Dear Colleague,
I would like to inform you that the United Nations has recently
announced the 2011 National Competitive Examinations in Statistics. As you
may know, it is through this examination process that the UN System,
including our office, recruits young professional statisticians. I am
pleased to let you know that qualified candidates *from your country, 32
years or younger,* are eligible to participate in the examinations.
We would like to ask your kind assistance in ensuring that the
information about these examinations reaches potential young applicants, for
instance through your website, newsletters or bulletin boards. Also, it
would be very helpful if you could forward this information to national
associations involved in statistics and/or relevant institutions of higher
education, offering degrees with substantial statistical courses. The *deadline
for applications is 10 September 2011.*
Detailed information about the examinations and the application and
employment conditions can be found at

Thank you very much for your support
