The Emerging Applications Section (EAS) of the Royal Statistical Society is looking for looking for enthusiastic individuals who are keen to contribute new ideas for meetings and events, and willing to take on one of the committee roles. The EAS offers a forum for statistical applications that do not fall into the remit of other sections. We hold one online committee meeting roughly every three months and one AGM per year, and normally organise 2-3 events a year, including webinars and sessions at the RSS conference and other conferences.
If you would like to be considered for the committee, send us an email (emergingapplications@rss.org.uk) with the subject line “Emerging Applications Committee 2026” by 5pm on Friday 30th October 2026, containing a short paragraph summarising your background, why you would like to join, and what you will contribute to the committee. We particularly welcome applications from early career academic or industry statisticians from different disciplinary backgrounds.
Please note, all committee members are required to be members of the RSS so if you are not currently a member you must be willing to join if selected.
