Workshop: Pathways to the Future Workshop 2004

摘要 在1988年8月一个小讲习班约20名妇女研究人员举行了年会之前，研究所的数理统计及其特别研讨会的概率及其应用。 在第一次讲习班取得巨大成功的鼓舞下，随后几年在美国统计协会、国际生物统计学会各区域和数理统计研究所举行重大联合年会之前举办了一次讲习班，除了在1994年，它与数学统计研究所世界大会和国际统计研究所伯努利分会一起举办，2000年，它与伯克利的国际生物识别会议一起运行。 研讨会取得了巨大的成功，每次都受到赞扬。 现在仍然需要为年轻的研究人员提供这种途径。 因此，建议在2004年举办一次类似的讲习班，对象是尚未有机会参加的新毕业的年轻研究人员。 该讲习班的目的是协助在过去五年中获得博士学位的年轻女概率和统计研究人员。 一位高级研究员将主要介绍如何确保成功和富有成效的研究生涯。 另一位大四学生将做一个关于出版的演讲--在哪里出版，出版什么，以及如何写研究结果。 第三位高级研究员将介绍赠款机会以及如何寻求这些机会。 研讨会参与者将简要介绍他们的研究兴趣和研究环境。有机会见面和互动，以及一些既定的研究人员将是非常宝贵的，因为参与者学会促进自己的研究，减少他们的专业孤立。 作为讲习班的结果，与会者应该在自己的研究生涯中取得更大的成功，因此，例如，在晋升和终身职位过程中生存下来，使这些妇女成为各级学生（本科生和研究生）在自己的培训方案中的榜样。

ABSTRACT In August 1988 a small Workshop of approximately twenty women researchers was held immediately prior to the Annual Meeting of the Institute of Mathematical Statistics and its Special Symposium on Probability and its Applications. Encouraged by the enormous success of this first Workshop, one has been run in subsequent years prior to the major joint annual meeting of American Statistical Association, regions of the International Biometric Society and the Institute of Mathematical Statistics, except that in 1994 it ran in conjunction with the World Congress of the Institute of Mathematical Statistics and the Bernoulli Section of the International Statistical Institute and in 2000 it ran in conjunction with the International Biometric Conference in Berkeley. The Workshops have been a huge success with laudatory thanks proferred each time. The need for such avenues for young researchers is still present. Therefore, this proposal is for a similar Workshop to be held in 2004 to be targeted at newly graduating young researchers who have not as yet had the opportunity to participate. The Workshop is proposed to assist young women researchers in probability and statistics who have received their doctorates in the last five years. A senior researcher will give a major presentation on what where and how to ensure a successful and productive research career. Another senior will give a presentation on publishing - where and what to publish and how to write up research results. A third senior researcher will give a presentation on grant opportunities and how to pursue them. Workshop participants would give a brief presentation of their research interests and research environment. The opportunity to meet and interact with each other as well as a few established researchers will be invaluable as the participants learn to promote their own research and to decrease their professional isolation. As a result of the Workshop, attendees should be more successful in their own research careers, and thus, for example, survive the promotion and tenure process so that these women become role models for the students at all levels (undergraduate and graduate) in their own training programs.
