JASA Theory and Methods Call for Nominations of Two Co-Editors

The American Statistical Association invites nominations and applications for two editors to serve as Co-editors of the Journal of the American Statistical Association, Theory and Methods. Established in 1888 and published quarterly in March, June, September, and December, the Journal of the American Statistical Association (JASA) has long been considered a premier journal of statistical science. The Theory and Methods section publishes articles that make original contributions to the foundations, theoretical development, or methodology of statistics and probability. All submissions are rigorously refereed using a double-blind peer review process.

The new Theory and Methods editors will serve from 2011 through 2014. The current editor will continue to process accepted papers through 2011, so there will be one full year of overlap with the new editors. If you know someone who would be right for the co-editorship of this journal, please send that person's name, email address, and a brief description of his or her qualifications to journals@amstat.org. The search committee will consider your nomination along with others received. Applications should be sent electronically to journals@amstat.org, and should include a CV, names of 3 references, and letter of interest in the position including a brief statement of the candidate’s vision for the publication, directions the candidate would pursue and contributions she or he would make if selected as editor.

Applications should be sent no later than June 4, 2010.
