Women in Probability
Women in Probability is an organization for women active in probability research in North America. Our primary purposes are
to improve visibility of women's research in probability, and
to provide networking and mentoring opportunities for early career women.
Our activities are funded by the US National Science Foundation.
Women in Probability is happy to announce the launch of the website of our "sister" network Aleatorias y Normales (Random and Normal), whose activities are aimed at female Latin American researchers (interpreted in the broadest sense) working in the areas of probability and statistics.
Activities
Women in Probability organizes various activities to help develop interpersonal contacts which will facilitate early career transitions and ultimately improve the retention of talented women in our field. These activities include
Conference dinners
Women in Probability hosts regular networking events at national probability conferences. Please see the Calendar tab for upcoming events.
Early Career Peer Group
The group meets about once a month for online seminars during the academic year. The online meetings feature research seminars and discussions of soft topics relevant to early career researchers intending to continue in academics.
Conferences
Women in Probability organizes a regular series Conference on New Developments in Probability which runs about every four years. The inaugural meeting ran in 2016 co-organized with the Department of Mathematics at Northwestern University. The second CNDP ran in 2021 (postponed from 2020 due to the coronavirus shutdown) co-organized with the Department of Mathematics at Tulane University.
