Women in Probability
Women in Probability is an organization for women active in probability research in North America. Our primary purposes are
to improve visibility of women's research in probability, and
to provide networking and mentoring opportunities for early career women.
Our activities are funded by the US National Science Foundation.
The third Conference on New Developments in Probability will be held September 26-28 in Montréal! See the CNDP tab for details.
Rick Durrett (Duke) is organizing another conference at UNC Chapel Hill August 5-6, 2024, with help from Shankar Bhamidi and Zoe Huang (UNC Chapel Hill), celebrating 30 Years of Women in Probability!
Activities
Women in Probability organizes various activities to help develop interpersonal contacts which will facilitate early career transitions and ultimately improve the retention of talented women in our field. These activities include
Conference dinners
Women in Probability hosts regular networking events at national probability conferences. Please see the Calendar tab for upcoming events.
Early Career Peer Group
The group meets about once a month for online seminars during the academic year. The online meetings feature research seminars and discussions of soft topics relevant to early career researchers intending to continue in academics.
Conferences
Women in Probability organizes a regular series Conference on New Developments in Probability which runs about every four years. The inaugural meeting ran in 2016 co-organized with the Department of Mathematics at Northwestern University. The second CNDP ran in 2021 (postponed from 2020 due to the coronavirus shutdown) co-organized with the Department of Mathematics at Tulane University. CNDP 3 will be September 26-28, 2024 in Montreal. See the CNDP tab for more details!
