The 17th Meeting of New Researchers in Statistics and Probability, a conference series sponsored by the Institute of Mathematical Statistics (IMS), is organized by and held for junior researchers. The primary objective is to provide a much needed venue for interaction among new researchers. The meeting will take place over three days, August 6-8, 2015, at the University of Washington, in Seattle, WA. The meeting will be held immediately preceding the Joint Statistical Meetings (JSM) in downtown Seattle. Participants will be statisticians and probabilists who have received their Ph.D. within the past five years or are expecting to receive their degree within the same year. Each participant will present a talk or poster. Topics will cover a variety of areas in statistics and probability, from theory and methods to applications. Senior speakers will give plenary talks for inspiration and other senior researchers will take part in discussion panels covering topics of importance for young people embarking on an academic/research career, such as teaching, mentoring, publishing and funding.This conference series is explicitly aimed at training the future leaders and workers in statistics and probability. In helping to create networks of new researchers, it lays the groundwork for future collaboration and the informal exchange of ideas and knowledge. It is also critical for professional cohesion, which is particularly important as research fields become more and more specialized. Meeting people outside of one's research specialty area, and learning about their research, favors a more comprehensive view of research, which is important when taking editor positions and other professional service activities. The conference also attracts participants with different backgrounds and nationalities, and underrepresented groups --- women, minorities and people with disabilities --- are explicitly encouraged to attend.

由数学统计研究所（IMS）赞助的统计和概率研究人员的第17届会议是由初级研究人员组织并举办的。 主要目的是为新研究人员提供急需的互动场所。 会议将于2015年8月6日至8日在华盛顿州西雅图的华盛顿大学举行。 会议将在西雅图市中心的联合统计会议（JSM）之前举行。参与者将是获得博士学位的统计学家和概率主义者。在过去的五年中，或期望在同年获得学位。 每个参与者都会发表演讲或海报。主题将涵盖从理论和方法到应用程序的统计和概率的各个领域。 高级演讲者将进行全体会议，以获取灵感，其他高级研究人员将参加讨论小组，其中涵盖了从事学术/研究职业的年轻人的重要性，例如教学，指导，出版和资助。该会议系列旨在旨在培训未来的领导者和统计领域的未来领导者。在帮助建立新研究人员网络的过程中，它为未来的协作和非正式的思想和知识交流奠定了基础。这对于专业凝聚力也至关重要，这一点尤其重要，因为研究领域变得越来越专业。 在研究专业领域以外的人会面，并了解他们的研究，这有利于对研究的更全面的看法，这在参加编辑职位和其他专业服务活动时很重要。 该会议还吸引了具有不同背景和国籍的参与者，而代表性不足的团体 - 妇女，少数民族和残疾人 - 明确鼓励参加。
