What’s New? is the periodic newsletter of the Population-Environment Research Network (PERN), containing pertinent and up to date information to facilitate research and advance knowledge of population environment relationships. All issues of What’s New are archived on the PERN website, and relevant parts of this news bulletin are cross-posted under PERN’s Conference Calendar and Jobs/Funding Opportunities.
A summary (PDF) of the recent cyberseminar on the remote sensing data needs of the population-environment research community is available, and the full archive can also be accessed.
PERN is supporting a special issue of Population & Environment dedicated to former steering committee member Daniel Hogan. The editors are soliciting original research papers by former students or colleagues of Dr. Hogan, those who were influenced by his work, or by Brazilian and Latin American colleagues more generally. Contributions, within the broad framework of population-environment studies, may address the spatial distribution of population, migration, urbanization, water use, deforestation, climate change, vulnerability and risk. The editors also welcome contributions by demographers outside these themes who were influenced by Dr. Hogan’s work. Submissions must be in English and adhere to the journal guidelines.

2010 CEP Fellowships on Population, Climate Change and the Environment
The Center for Environment and Population (CEP), with four leading US and global institutes, announces the appointment of the 2010 CEP Fellowships on Population, Climate Change and the Environment. This is the first of a new, ongoing series of Fellowships to: a) advance the science, science-policy-advocacy links, and real-world science application; and b) build a much needed cadre of outstanding new young leaders, scientists, activists, spokespersons and policymakers worldwide on “Population and Climate Change” and other key population-environmental linkages, for example, with water, forests, biodiversity, habitat and land use. To launch the program, this year CEP is partnering with: National Center for Atmospheric Research (NCAR) ; Green Belt Movement, Nairobi, Kenya; The Nature Conservancy, Washington, DC; and Institute of Behavioral Sciences, University of Colorado. The 2010 Fellows will undertake cutting-edge research and/or analysis and reporting of key population, climate change and environmental issues to strategically advance the science and make progress on the science-policy-advocacy links in order to move the issues forward. Reports on the fellows research/analysis will be published in late 2010 and be part of CEP and partner institutes’ activities associated with the Clinton Global Initiative (CGI) and United Nation’s Millennium Development Goals (UN MDGs) in Fall 2010.

Announcement of 10 positions, Wittgenstein Centre for Demography and Global Human Capital, Vienna, Austria
Applications are invited for up to 10 new appointments (pre-doc, post-doc to senior scientist) as part of launching the new Wittgenstein Centre for Demography and Global Human Capital, which is being made possible by the substantial research funding associated with the Wittgenstein Prize (the highest Austrian science prize - also called the "Austro Nobel") which was recently won by Wolfgang Lutz as the first social scientist in the history of this award. The new centre will rest on three pillars (the Vienna Institute of Demography, the World Population Program of IIASA, and the WU - Vienna University of Economics) and aims at merging the existing strengths in the Vienna area in the fields of demography, human capital formation and analysis of the returns to education in order to establish a globally leading centre in this field. The main goal of the Centre is to improve the analytical toolbox and the empirical data base for our understanding of the role of human capital (people and their changing structure by age, gender, place of residence, level of education, health status and cognitive skills) vis a vis financial and natural capital in our strive for sustainable development. The focus of the new Centre is global and the working language is English. Anybody with academic credentials and/or serious aspirations in this field is encouraged to apply. Appointments will be made through one of the three "pillar" institutions (doctoral students will receive their degree from the WU-Vienna). The deadline for a first round of recruiting is 25 August 2010. First interviews will be held during the European Population Conference (1-3 September in Vienna). To apply, please send your CV, personal statement as well as names and contact details of two referees to Heike Barakat (heike.barakat @oeaw.ac.at).
