The ASA editorial search committee named Joseph Ibrahim as the next coordinating editor of the Journal of the American Statistical Association (JASA) and editor of JASA’s section on Applications and Case Studies. Ibrahim is a professor in the department of biostatistics at The University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill.

“Professor Ibrahim’s long record of research accomplishment and editorial experience uniquely qualify him for this prestigious position,” said David Banks of Duke University, who chaired the editorial search committee. “He has been a leader in the development of statistical methodology, especially Bayesian techniques, in nearly every aspect of biostatistics, from neuroimaging to longitudinal studies to genomics to missing data. He has provided extensive editorial service to the statistics profession, and we are fortunate he has agreed to accept these JASA positions.”

As coordinating editor, Ibrahim will work with the editors of JASA’s other two sections—Theory and Methods (co-editors Xuming He and Jun Liu) and Reviews (editor Alyson Wilson)—to ensure JASA publishes a balanced mix of articles.

Ibrahim previously served as an associate editor for both the JASA Applications and Case Studies section and its Theory and Methods section, as well as for Biometrics, Bayesian Analysis, and other prominent journals. Currently at UNC-Chapel Hill, he is the Alumni Distinguished Professor of Biostatistics and director of the Center for Innovative Clinical Trials.
