Overview:

Our series of Special Interest Groups (SIGs) are at the core of the RoSE Network. Each relates to a specific area of statistics education research and practice, and they host regular events and initiatives where members can share, discuss, and collaborate on new developments in their topic of interest. These range from informal networking sessions, reading groups, and webinars, to community support and research projects. The role of the SIG Leads is to facilitate these events and initiatives.

SIGs with Co-Lead Vacancies:

• AI in Statistics Education (with Lazaros Gionidis)

• Statistics Pedagogy (with Hillary Watt)

• NEW! Statistics Education Research & Scholarship (with Jenny Terry)

• NEW! Active Learning in Statistics Education

• You may also propose a new SIG (check out our existing SIGs first).

Key Responsibilities:

• 2-3 leads for each SIG should work together to take responsibility for their (existing or new) SIG, working closely with the Research Co-Directors

• SIGs can be thought of as mini-labs and should aim to:

  • Meet regularly (flexible, but aim for a minimum of one meeting/event every other month)

  • Organise events such as journal discussions, external/internal speakers, hack-a-thons/research sandpits (to kick-start research projects) etc.

• Promote SIG events and initiatives on the SIG Slack channel and your own networks

• Liaise with the Communications Team to ensure events are advertised on our website and social media

• Liaise with the EDI Team and Geographic Centre Leads to ensure events are accessible and inclusive

• Other ad-hoc tasks relating to RoSE Network SIGs

Person Specification:

We encourage applications from statistics education researchers (and practitioners with an interest in research/scholarship) from all over the world, at any career stage (from undergraduate to Professor), and of any demographic. We do not require lots of experience, just potential and enthusiasm!

For this specific role, we'd especially like to hear from people with:

• A enthusiasm for networking and collaboration with creative ideas for events and initiatives

• Capacity to co-organise regular events (note that this should be shared with SIG Leads and SIG members and need not involve you leading all the events)

Time Commitment:

We recognise that RoSE committee members are volunteers and that our paid jobs can be notoriously hectic. As such, we operate a "many hands make light work" model to help share the load and ensure continuity. You will work alongside at least one other SIG Lead and can draw upon support from the Research Co-Directors who oversee the SIGs, as well as the members of your SIG.

Between the SIG Leads, you will be expected to:

• Attend 1 x 2-hour General Committee meeting every three months

• Spend an average of half an hour per week on planning/hosting events/initiatives

Role Duration:

Ongoing, with four week's notice.

• Other ad-hoc tasks relating to EDI for the RoSE Network

Person Specification:

We encourage applications from statistics education researchers (and practitioners with an interest in research/scholarship) from all over the world, at any career stage (from undergraduate to Professor), and of any demographic. We do not require lots of experience, just potential and enthusiasm!
