The 17th Meeting of New Researchers in Statistics and Probability, a conference series sponsored by the Institute of Mathematical Statistics (IMS), is organized by and held for junior researchers. The primary objective is to provide a much needed venue for interaction among new researchers. The meeting will take place over three days, August 6-8, 2015, at the University of Washington, in Seattle, WA. The meeting will be held immediately preceding the Joint Statistical Meetings (JSM) in downtown Seattle. Participants will be statisticians and probabilists who have received their Ph.D. within the past five years or are expecting to receive their degree within the same year. Each participant will present a talk or poster. Topics will cover a variety of areas in statistics and probability, from theory and methods to applications. Senior speakers will give plenary talks for inspiration and other senior researchers will take part in discussion panels covering topics of importance for young people embarking on an academic/research career, such as teaching, mentoring, publishing and funding.This conference series is explicitly aimed at training the future leaders and workers in statistics and probability. In helping to create networks of new researchers, it lays the groundwork for future collaboration and the informal exchange of ideas and knowledge. It is also critical for professional cohesion, which is particularly important as research fields become more and more specialized. Meeting people outside of one's research specialty area, and learning about their research, favors a more comprehensive view of research, which is important when taking editor positions and other professional service activities. The conference also attracts participants with different backgrounds and nationalities, and underrepresented groups --- women, minorities and people with disabilities --- are explicitly encouraged to attend.

第十七届统计与概率新锐研究员会议是由数理统计研究所（IMS）主办、由初级研究员组织并举办的系列会议。 主要目标是为新研究人员之间的互动提供一个急需的场所。 会议将于 2015 年 8 月 6 日至 8 日在华盛顿州西雅图的华盛顿大学举行，为期三天。 该会议将在西雅图市中心联合统计会议 (JSM) 之前举行。参与者将是获得博士学位的统计学家和概率学家。过去五年内或预计在同一年内获得学位。 每位参与者将发表演讲或海报。主题将涵盖统计和概率的各个领域，从理论和方法到应用。 高级演讲者将在全体会议上发表演讲以获取灵感，其他高级研究人员将参加讨论小组，讨论对从事学术/研究职业的年轻人来说很重要的主题，例如教学、指导、出版和资助。该会议系列的明确目的是培训统计和概率方面的未来领导者和工作者。在帮助创建新研究人员网络的过程中，它为未来的合作以及思想和知识的非正式交流奠定了基础。这对于专业凝聚力也至关重要，随着研究领域变得越来越专业化，这一点尤为重要。 与研究专业领域之外的人会面并了解他们的研究有利于更全面的研究观点，这在担任编辑职位和其他专业服务活动时非常重要。 会议还吸引了不同背景和国籍的与会者，并明确鼓励代表性不足的群体——妇女、少数民族和残疾人参加。
