Postdoctoral appointments in statistics are a rather new
phenomenon and the Geophysical Statistics Project (GSP)
is unique among such programs. The quality of young statisticians
in our project is extremely high. One strength of GSP is that
it gives a new Ph D. the time to develop a solid research
program of their own without the other pressures associated
with the first few years as a faculty member. In addition, GSP
provides a formative environment that encourages the post docs to
branch out into new areas and develop applications in the
geophysical and environmental sciences. The project is committed
to maintaining NCAR connections with the statistics post docs after
they leave. Thus, GSP post docs will retain their opportunities
for collaboration with scientists here and also have the potential
for funding outside the usual Probability and Statistics program at NSF.
