The Bernoulli Society New Researcher Award recognizes the work of outstanding young researchers in the fields of Mathematical Statistics and Probability. The awardees of this annual prize shall give a presentation in a special session at one of our major conferences, and will receive a funding towards travel and other expenses. Bernoulli News publishes their pictures and a paragraph about their work. Eligible candidates must be within 5 years from getting the Ph.D. to the year when the assessment occurs. An extension may be given to those having had disruptions after receiving the Ph.D., such as parenthood. This prize is awarded to Bernoulli Society members only.
