Career

We are entering a golden age for the statistical sciences and profession. Companies large and small have come to realize that their data is among their most important assets, an asset they should analyze and learn from. Consequently, the demand for statistical expertise, and for statisticians, is rapidly growing. In addition to the traditional jobs in academia, government and the pharmaceutical industry, there is today a huge demand in modern applications such as finance, e-commerce, and social media to name a few. In some of these settings, statisticians go by the name of data scientists. The data explosion is also fueling research in new methods and models.
