IBS and Region Membership Application

IBS and Region Membership Application
Please enter the information requested below. Completing this form will allow the IBS to establish a record for you in our database.

We will also check your eligibility. Only statisticians, mathematicians, biological scientists, and others devoted to interdisciplinary efforts in advancing the collection and interpretation of information in the biosciences, or related Institutions (i.e. those seeking Institutional membership) should complete this form.

No payment is due at this time. Payment for your membership will typically be made through your local Region, unless you are eligible to apply as a Member-at-Large. You will receive confirmation of your eligibility following review by an IBS staff member.

Once you receive access to your personal profile at www.biometricsociety.org, we encourage you to add to or edit your information. Other information you might add later may include photos, phone numbers, additional addresses and/or your position, an educational degree or accreditation, office or honors (example: MBA, PhD), etc. You will also have the opportunity later to choose how much information may be shared with others. Note that the IBS will not sell any of your information.

If you consider this submission a time-sensitive request, please reach out to ibs@biometricsociety.org immediately after submitting this form. Thank you!

Preferred E-mail address.*
example@example.com - As an international society, our preferred method of communication is e-mail and it is the only way we can regularly connect with you. The IBS and local Region will send confirmation of your newly-activated membership and other essential communications via this method. As such, an e-mail address is required.
At any time, you may opt out of communications that are NOT directly related to a product and/or service for which you have paid (such as IBS membership, a conference registration, or a journal subscription).*

Please send both essential and non-essential communications for now. I understand that I may change my preference at any time by calling the International Biometric Office (IBO).Please remove me from all communications that are considered non-essential. I understand that I will continue to receive essential communications related to my IBS and local Region membership, and information regarding any journal subscriptions for which I have paid.
