Pathways to Promotion

A group of academic statisticians (tenure-track, non tenure-track, staff) meet monthly to discuss how to advance promotion opportunities for statisticians who have a significant focus on statistical consulting and collaboration. The goal of the group is to raise awareness of existing white papers and develop tools to help academic collaborative statisticians advance in their careers. All who are interested are welcome to join the group and can do so by contact Margaret Stedman (mstedman@stanford.edu).

Keep in touch for activities: webinars, panels, and networking
