Young Statistical Engineer Award (YSEA)

To promote young statistical engineers the International Statistical Engineering Association (ISEA) is pleased to announce the Young Statistical Engineer Award (YSEA).

The objective of the YSEA is to recognise outstanding contributions in statistical engineering and to encourage young statistical engineers in their career.

In addition to the certificates and monetary prizes, the YSEA may be given to one or maximum two persons every year and the winner(s) of the YSEA shall present every second year in a dedicated plenary of the biennial ISEA Summit (including exemption from the fees of the biennial ISEA Summit).

By the application deadline (mentioned below) a candidate can either apply directly or can be nominated by a member of the ISEA.

Submissions are possible only in electronic format to YSEA@isea-change.org.

The following documents should be submitted:
    • proof that the candidate has obtained a Bachelor’s, Master’s or doctoral degree or has a working experience of at least three years;
    • declaration that the candidate has not yet reached 35 years of age at the time of the application deadline (mentioned below);
    • a curriculum vitae;
    • a report synthesising the candidate’s body of work related to statistical engineering (e.g., a thesis, a published article or a monograph, where the candidate is a main author);
    • an accompanying statement of how the candidate’s body of work described in the report fits into ISEA’s definition of statistical engineering and/or its framework;
    • at least two letters of reference.

Candidates should consult the YSEA rules for more details.
