The Bernoulli Society invites nominations for the 2027 Ethel Newbold Prize. Established in 2014, this biennial prize honours the significant contributions of women to the field of statistics. The award, generously supported by Wiley, recognises excellence in statistics without regard to the gender of the recipient.

The Ethel Newbold Prize will be awarded to an outstanding early- or mid-career scientist whose work demonstrates excellence in mathematical statistics or in research that links developments in a substantive field to new advances in statistics. The award consists of €2,500 together with an award certificate and an  invitation to present a talk at the next Bernoulli–IMS World Congress, a Bernoulli-sponsored major conference, or the ISI World Statistics Congress.

Nominations should include a letter outlining the nominee’s achievements and contributions and a recent curriculum vitae of the nominee. Please send your nomination and any inquiries to Richard Nickl nickl@maths.cam.ac.uk.

The deadline for submissions is 30 November 2026.

The winner will be announced in early 2027. Details at https://www.bernoullisociety.org/index.php/prizes?id=207
