The IMS New Researchers’ Survival Guide
- Share to:
Statistics is a wonderfully diverse profession and
graduate students making career choices have many
options — especially in light of the dearth of students
moving into the statistical sciences today. The three
main career paths at the PhD level are in academics,
industry/business and government. Each of these job
types offers its own mix of intellectual challenges,
financial reward, pressure and security. How a new
researcher selects (or is selected by) a specific occupation
in the statistical sciences sometimes seems more
a function of luck than of conscious decision making.
This consideration was one of the first concerns addressed
by the New Researchers Committee (NRC) of
the Institute of Mathematical Statistics in 1988, and
this guide is the product of that (and later) thinking.
We believe that if students were better informed about
their choices, they would be less apprehensive, pursue
their goals more effectively and, ultimately, be far more
likely to find positions for which they are well suited.
