His father was Dr Ernst (Ernest) Moser (1885–1957), owner of the private bank Georg Fromberg & Co. in Berlin (est. 1882, "aryanized" in 1936). His mother was Lotte (née Goldberg, 1897–1976), a talented amateur musician. In 1936 he moved to England with his parents and his brother Heinz Peter August. He went to Frensham Heights School and the London School of Economics (LSE). Despite being Jewish, in 1940, he was interned as an enemy alien in Huyton Camp. After four months, he was released and served in the Royal Air Force, 1943–1946. He then returned to LSE as Assistant Lecturer, then Lecturer, in Statistics, 1946–1955; Reader in Social Statistics, 1955–1961; Professor of Social Statistics, 1961–1970; Visiting Professor of Social Statistics, 1970–1975. In 1965 he was elected a Fellow of the American Statistical Association.[4] He was appointed a Commander of the Order of the British Empire (CBE) in the 1965 New Year Honours,[5] and in 1965, he applied for a job at the Central Statistical Office but was rejected, as a former enemy alien. However, this did not seem to be a problem when in 1967 Harold Wilson appointed him Director of the Central Statistical Office. He was made a Knight Commander of the Bath (KCB) in the 1973 New Year Honours.[6] He resigned as Director of the Central Statistical Office in 1978. He held a very wide variety of posts. These included:
He was made a life peer with the title Baron Moser, of Regent's Park in the London Borough of Camden on 23 June 2001.[8] Other honours included the Albert Medal of the Royal Society of Arts, 1996, Commandeur de l'Ordre National du Mérite (France), 1976; Commander's Cross, Order of Merit (Germany), 1985. Moser also received an Honorary Doctorate from Heriot-Watt University in 1995.[9] Moser died in Switzerland on 4 September 2015, following a stroke.[10] The Claus Moser Research CentreMoser was honorary Chancellor at Keele University at a time of rapid change after funding cuts in the early 80s, and appointment of a full-time vice-chancellor to reduce staff / student ratios further after that first emergency. Keele's funding per student was reduced by a third and Oxford's by a thirtieth from similar amounts per head in the 70s. In 1997 Moser participated in a ceremony to mark the start of construction of the Claus Moser Research Centre, a dedicated research facility for the Humanities and Social Sciences.[11] He returned to the university in June 2008 to participate in the official opening of the £3.5m building.[12] See also
