The journal Survey Methodology established the Waksberg Award and an annual invited paper series in honor of the late Joseph Waksberg to recognize his outstanding contributions to survey statistics and methodology. Each year, a prominent survey statistician is chosen to author a paper that reviews the development and current state of an important topic in the survey statistics and methodology field, reflecting the mixture of theory and practice that characterized Joseph Waksberg’s work.
The recipient of the Waksberg Award will receive an honorarium and give the 2026 Waksberg Invited Address at the Statistics Canada Symposium, expected to be held in autumn 2026. The paper will be published in an upcoming issue of Survey Methodology (targeted for December 2026).
The honoree will be selected by a four-person committee appointed by Survey Methodology and the American Statistical Association. Nominations should include a CV and nomination letter and be sent by email before February 15, 2025, to committee chair Jae Kwang Kim. Nominations will remain active for five years.
