Sixth North American New Researchers Conference University of California, Davis July 29 - August 1, 2003

The New Researchers' Committee of the IMS is organizing a meeting of recent Ph.D. recipients in Statistics and Probability. The purpose of the conference is to promote interaction among new researchers primarily by introducing them to each other's research in an informal setting. All participants are expected to give a short, expository talk or contribute a poster on their research. Anyone who has received a Ph.D. since 1998 or expects to receive a Ph.D. by 2004 is eligible to attend. The meeting is held prior to the Joint Statistical Meetings in San Francisco, California. Abstracts of these talks and posters will appear in the IMS Bulletin.
