International Statistical Institute (ISI) invites nominations for a new Editor-in-Chief of STAT.

STAT (published by Wiley) on behalf of the International Statistical Institute (ISI) has a unique publication scope designed for the rapid dissemination of high-quality, compact research across all areas of statistics. The journal has a broad scope in statistics and probability, encompassing foundational theory, novel methodologies, computational statistics, and applied statistical research. It places a strong emphasis on interdisciplinary research, welcoming papers that apply innovative statistical frameworks to applied quantitative fields such as data science, machine learning, and AI.

The journal currently operates under the leadership of Professor Holger Dette.

Nominees must be current ISI members.
