The American Statistical Association invites nominations and applications for the position of editor of The American Statistician. The new editor will serve from 2012 through 2014, with the transition beginning in 2011.

Send nominations—including the nominee’s name, email address, and a brief description of his or her qualifications—to journals@amstat.org. The search committee will then contact nominees to see if they are interested in applying.

Applications should include a CV, names of three references, and a letter of interest that includes 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.

The deadline for nominations is December 1. Interested nominees must then send their applications by January 15, 2011. Both nominations and applications should be sent to journals@amstat.org.

The American Statistician publishes articles of general interest to the statistical profession that ordinarily are not highly technical. The journal is organized into the following sections: Statistical Practice, General, Teacher’s Corner, Statistical Computing and Graphics, Reviews of Books and Teaching Materials, Letters, History Corner, and Interdisciplinary.
