The second iteration of the BRING MATH workshop will take place October 5-6, 2023. The workshop will be hosted at Argonne National Laboratory and sponsored by IMSI. Its purpose is to expose undergraduates to research in mathematics and statistics being done at Argonne and its connections with real world applications, and to educate them about opportunities related to the mathematical sciences which are available to them, both during summers and longer term. The workshop is also open to faculty who wish to accompany a group of students to the workshop. Applications are due by June 19, 2023.

Simplistics: An Intuitive Graphical Approach to Statistics May 3rd, 10th & 17th |
|
Registrations are now open for Simplistics: An Intuitive Graphical Approach to Statistics with professor Dustin Fife, running three consecutive Wednesdays May 3-17. This hands-on course explores statistics from a fresh, intuitive perspective and supports R, JASP, and Jamovi, with an easy to use and understand graphical approach to statistical analysis. Rather than focusing on decisions about the appropriate 'test' or using p-values and arbitrary 'significance' cutoffs, this seminar will teach you to build models and use them to interpret data directly. With these models, you will learn how to generate and interpret model visualizations and effect sizes in an intuitive manner, as well as building, evaluating, and testing competing models. The net result will be a much better understanding of your data and the relationships among variables through the process of modeling, and an improved ability to test your hypotheses and theory in a more inductive 'bottom-up' fashion that is grounded in your data. Head over to instats.org today to check out our many upcoming livestream seminars as well as our library of on-demand offerings. With any questions please free to get in touch at info@instats.org.

Event title: Jumpstarting Your Statistical Career: From the Classroom to the Workforce at FDA
Date and Time: April 21st 1-2pm
Registration link: Click here
Description:
Are you looking for an exciting career opportunity after graduation? Consider joining the US Food and Drug Administration (FDA).
The FDA relies heavily on the expertise of statisticians to ensure the safety, efficacy, and quality of food, drugs, medical devices, and other regulated products. As a statistician at the FDA, you'll play a vital role in making evidence-based decisions that affect public health. Additionally, you’ll gain a comprehensive understanding of drug development from pre-IND to approval and post-approval, which is unparalleled in any other industry. The FDA is an excellent place for early-career statisticians who want to learn not only about your fields but also other disciplines.
Join us for the upcoming webinar hosted by the FDA Statistical Association (FDASA) to learn more about biostatistician opportunities at the FDA. This is an exclusive chance to converse with statistical leaderships at FDA, including ASA President Dr. Dionne Price, about careers in biostatistics and public health. If you’re interested in pursuing a career in these fields, this is a must-attend event that you don’t want to miss.

Last chance to register for the upcoming 3-day Instats seminar Introduction to QCA (Qualitative Comparative Analysis) with R with professor Carsten Schneider, running April 12-14. This seminar introduces applied set-theoretic methods for the social sciences, focusing on Qualitative Comparative Analysis (QCA). This method is used in fields as diverse as political science, public policy, international relations, sociology, business and management, organizational studies, and even musicology. This seminar will enable participants to produce a publishable QCA of their own. To achieve this, the seminar provides both the formal set-theoretical underpinnings of QCA as well as the technical and practical research skills necessary for performing a QCA. All applied components of the seminar are performed in the R software environment, using RStudio (Cloud) and R packages QCA and SetMethods. This introductory seminar is part of a two-seminar QCA course, Qualitative Comparative Analysis (QCA) in R: From Beginning to Advanced Applications. The second seminar on Advanced QCA covers recent development in QCA and follows from this first seminar in the series. By registering for the two-seminar series, participants save 10% on the price of both. |

At Memorial Sloan Kettering (MSK), we’re not only changing the way we treat cancer, but also the way the world thinks about it. By working together and pushing forward with innovation and discovery, we’re driving excellence and improving outcomes. We’re treating cancer, one patient at a time. Join us and make a difference every day.
In compliance with applicable State regulatory authorities, COVID-19 vaccination is mandatory for all MSK staff. Staff are considered fully vaccinated upon completion of a primary vaccination series for COVID-19 (i.e., one dose of a single dose vaccine or a final dose of a multi-dose vaccine series). Exceptions from the COVID-19 vaccine requirement are permitted for those who request and receive an approved medical or fully remote exemption. Requests for medical exemption can take up to two weeks to review. Vaccination or an approved medical exemption is required to start work.
*Staff working at a MSK New Jersey location must be up to date with COVID-19 vaccination, which includes having completed the primary COVID-19 vaccination series and booster once eligible as mandated by New Jersey State. All New Jersey staff not yet eligible for a booster must receive a booster within 3 weeks of becoming eligible as a condition of continued employment at MSK.
Note: Individuals are eligible to receive a COVID-19 booster two months after completion of a primary vaccination series for COVID-19. Because vaccine-induced immunity can wane over time, MSK continues to strongly urge all staff to get a COVID-19 booster as soon as they become eligible to maintain their protective immunity for a longer period.
The Prostate Cancer Clinical Trails Consortium (PCCTC) team is seeking a summer intern to contribute to the PCCTC mission while the PCCTC in turn provides exposure and support for interns interested in pursuing careers in clinical research or other health professions! The PCCTC’s distinguished clinical investigators work together on a single mission: to design, implement and complete hypothesis-driven trials in prostate cancer, translating scientific discoveries to improve standards of care. We offer services to carry out this mission ensuring efficient trial selection, reporting, site management, clinical operations and data management.
The summer intern will work directly with the PCCTC’s Data Science team, gaining hands-on experience with the data oversight and reporting aspects of clinical research within the framework of R programming and version control with git & GitHub. The intern will also have the opportunity meet and learn from staff in other PCCTC divisions, such as Business Operations, Data Management, Clinical Operations, Correlative Sciences and Monitoring.
We are seeking candidates with previous R or related programming experience; a nice-to-have is git and GitHub experience as well. Knowledge of introductory statistics is helpful; advanced statistics knowledge is not necessary.
The 2022 Data Science intern wrote a blog post about her internship experience; please read it to learn more about our working environment: https://www.pipinghotdata.com/posts/2022-08-30-my-4-biggest-internship-takeaways/.
The 12-week internship is full-time, paid, remote, and working hours are 9-5 EST. The dates are flexible; approximate dates are June – August 2023.
