Attention graduate students: CSTAT is inviting research assistant (RA) applications and will be interviewing applicants for Summer 2025 or Fall 2025 with possible continuation into future semesters. This is an excellent opportunity to get experience with applying statistical methods to interesting research topics, developing consulting skills, learning from experienced mentors, and expanding your professional network.

The CSTAT team supports healthy lifestyles! We participated in the 9th Annual Exercise is Medicine and Healthy Homecoming walk event at MSU.

Steven Pierce, CSTAT's senior statistician will be recognized at Annual Conference of the American Evaluation Association and receives the AJE's Excellence in Reviewing Award chosen from 80 reviewers and 121 reviews.

Dr. Zhou joined CSTAT in September as our newest full-time statistics research specialist! His research focus is on analyzing biomedical and bioinformatics data to improve patient care. He supports researchers from the College of Human Medicine and from across MSU.

The CSTAT team is proud to be involved in writing three papers on statistical and data science consulting centers:
“What matters to graduate students? Experiences at a statistical consulting center from pre-to post-COVID-19 pandemic”
“Developing partnerships for academic data science consulting and collaboration units”
“Tell your story: metrics of success for academic data science collaboration and consulting programs”

CSTAT's Research Associate, Sam Manski, was selected to participate in the Fall 2024 cohort of community engaged scholars. Fellows will design a community engaged research (CER) project in partnership with community members and are paired with a senior MSU faculty mentor. Congratulations Sam!

The College of Natural Sciences awards Excellence-In-Teaching Citations to graduate teaching assistants who have distinguished themselves by the care they have given and the skill they have shown in meeting their classroom responsibilities. Sam Manski receives this award on Friday, Nov 17, for doing an excellent job during her graduate studies in the Department of Statistics and Probability.

"Weightlifters, coaches, National Federations and, most significantly, competition organisers can take advantage of a new all-weights scoring method that has been devised by scientists and statisticians." The working group consisted of academics, athletes, coaches and National Federation officials led by Dr. Huebner, director of CSTAT.
