We are thrilled to share that the European Regional Committee of Bernoulli has unanimously approved the proposal for EMS 2026! The event will take place from August 24–28, 2026, at the stunning USI in Lugano, Switzerland. The program will feature special lectures and contributions coordinated with an ERC-Bernoulli contact person. Additionally, promotion for EMS 2026 will be widely disseminated through Bernoulli Society channels and beyond. We look forward to an unforgettable meeting in Lugano that will bring together the mathematical and statistical community. Stay tuned for more updates! New Chief Editor for Bernoulli Journal

The winners of the New Researcher Award 2025 in Mathematical Statistics are:
The awardees will deliver a talk at the special invited session during the ISI World Statistics Congress Conference to be held in The Hague, Netherlands, from October 5-9, 2025, and will each receive funding up to 1000 € to offset travel and other expenses. The committee also honours an additional applicant:
Nomination The David Cox Medal for Statistics
David Cox Medal ReminderThe Bernoulli Society, in partnership with the ASA, IBS, IMS, ISI, and RSS, is accepting nominations for the David Cox Medal in Statistics. This prestigious award honors mid-career researchers in statistical theory, methodology, and applications whose work demonstrates originality, depth, and innovation. Nominations are open until October 31, 2024. Nominees must be 50 years of age or younger (exceptions apply). We encourage you to nominate or promote eligible candidates for this award! Nominations are now open and will be closing on 31 October 2024. More information and the nomination form can be found at link SPA Journal Editorial Leadership Update
We are pleased to announce important changes in the editorial leadership of the Stochastic Processes and their Applications (SPA) journal. Thanks to the courtesy of Elsevier, we are able to share an exclusive interview with Eva Löcherbach, the new Editor-in-Chief, and Mathias Löwe, the outgoing Editor-in-Chief, now available on You Tube. We encourage the Bernoulli Society community to watch the interview and learn more about the transition and future direction of SPA under its new leadership link. Job Offer
The Technical University of Munich (TUM) invites applications for the position of
Tenure Track Assistant Professor in "Statistics and Data Science", to begin as soon as possible. The position is a W2 fixed-term (6-year) tenure-track professorship with the possibility of promotion to a tenured W3 professorship. The professorship will be assigned to the Department of Mathematics of the TUM School of Computation, Information and Technology. While all areas of specialization in the field will be considered, the successful candidate is expected to pursue an innovative research program focused on the development/analysis of modern statistical methodology. Applications are to be submitted by 20 October 2024 via the TUM recruitment portal. For full details of the call and instructions for how to apply, see https://portal.mytum.de/jobs/professuren/NewsArticle_20240827_144049 .

Giuseppe Cannizzaro has been awarded the 2024 Wolfgang Doeblin Prize. This prestigious recognition highlights his exceptional contributions to the field of stochastic partial differential equations and his outstanding achievements in the application of these equations to non-equilibrium statistical physics. His work in this complex and significant area is truly commendable. We wish him continued success and groundbreaking accomplishments in his future research endeavors! Professor Giuseppe Cannizzaro will present a lecture at the 44th Conference on Stochastic Processes and their Applications, which will take place in Wrocław on July 14–18, 2025. Call for Nominations: 2025 Ethel Newbold Prize
The Bernoulli Society’s Newbold Prize Committee invites nominations for the 2025 Ethel Newbold Prize. Established in 2014, this biennial prize honours the significant contributions of women to the field of statistics. The award, generously supported by Wiley, recognises excellence in statistics without regard to the gender of the recipient. The Ethel Newbold Prize will be awarded to an outstanding early or mid-career scientist whose work demonstrates excellence in mathematical statistics or in research that links developments in a substantive field to new advances in statistics. The award consists of the prize amount of 2,500€ together with an award certificate. The recipient will also be invited to present a talk at the next Bernoulli-IMS World Congress, a Bernoulli-sponsored major conference, or the ISI World Statistics Congress. The prize will only be awarded if the set of nominations includes candidates of both genders. Nominations should include a letter outlining the nominee's achievements and contributions and a recent curriculum vitae of the nominee. In order to nominate someone, please send your nomination and any inquiries to Adrian Röllin at This email address is being protected from spambots. You need JavaScript enabled to view it.. The deadline for submissions is 30 November 2024. The winner will be announced in early 2025. Announcing The David Cox Medal for Statistics
Along with the American Statistical Association (ASA), the International Biometric Society (IBS), the Institute of Mathematical Statistics (IMS), the International Statistical Institute (ISI) and the Royal Statistical Society (RSS), the Bernoulli Society has set up a new international statistics medal, commemorating the life and work of Sir David Cox. The award, called the David Cox Medal for Statistics, will recognise researchers in the fields of statistical theory, methodology and applications whose work is original, with conceptual depth and novelty, and which moves the field or a substantive application area forward. Sir David Cox, a pioneering statistical researcher who introduced numerous innovations, published his seminal paper on regression models at the age of 48. In memory of this, medals are to be given to mid-career researchers, with an age limit of 50 (with exceptions to be made for extenuating circumstances). Nominations will not be restricted to members of the awarding societies. Bernoulli Society President Victor Panaretos remarked, “David Cox left his mark on our discipline, by way of his transformative research, his mentoring of young statisticians, and his committed service from numerous important posts–including as Bernoulli Society President. It is only fitting to celebrate his legacy with this new award, indeed an award that I believe has the potential to bring additional visibility to our field. I’m especially proud that this project was first conceived and initiated by the Bernoulli Society, and very pleased that it has garnered support from so many partner Societies.” Awarded to three statisticians every three years, the prize will be decided by a selection committee representing all the involved societies, with a rotating chair. Nominations are now open and will be closing on 31 October 2024. More information and the nomination form can be found at link Call for Bernoulli Society New Researcher Award 2025
Bernoulli Society New Researcher Award 2025 The Bernoulli Society welcomes applications to the New Researcher Award 2025. Each awardee shall deliver a talk at a special invited session during the 65th ISI World Statistics Congress to be held in The Hague from October 5-10, 2025, and will receive a funding up to 1000 EUR to offset travel and other expenses. Bernoulli News will publish their pictures and a paragraph about their work. Eligible candidates are active researchers in Mathematical Statistics who obtained the PhD degree on or after June 15th, 2019, and who are regular members of the Bernoulli Society. An extension may be given to those having had disruptions after receiving the PhD, such as parenthood. Diversity among the awardees is one of the Society’s goals, and therefore women and members of under- represented groups are particularly encouraged to apply.
