Are you passionate about data science and AI?
We, the Data Science & AI Section of the Royal Statistical Society, are looking for new members to help us in our mission, as the voice of the data science and AI practitioner community.
We explore emerging topics that affect the long-term success of data science and AI as a profession. We organise and deliver an annual program of events and activities that push forward the debate around opportunities and challenges posed by data science, artificial intelligence and machine learning. And of course, there is our legendary monthly newsletter!
Diversity matters. We are keen to encourage expressions of interests from diverse backgrounds so that our committee is inclusive of gender, ethnicity, socio-economic background and career stage.
As a committee member, you will work with other committee members to plan and deliver the section’s events and activities. We hold regular committee meetings during the year, which can be attended remotely via Microsoft Teams, or sometimes in person at Errol Street, London (travel expenses will be reimbursed). But much of our core business is conducted electronically, so location is no barrier.
If you are interested, please contact Louisa Nolan at datasciencesection@rss.org.uk by Friday 1 December, with a paragraph (up to 200 words) summarising why you would like to join, who you are (e.g. location, job sector, career path and stage), any topics you would like to explore or ideas for the section and anything else you think is relevant.
The only qualifying criteria are a passion for data science and AI, a commitment to the work of the Section and you will need to be a fellow of the RSS.
