*Calls for Applications*

*Announcement of 10 positions in Vienna (Austria) at the new
"Wittgenstein Centre for Demography and Global Human Capital"*

*Deadline for the first round of recruiting: 25 August 2010.*

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 at oeaw.ac.at <mailto:heike.barakat at oeaw.ac.at>).
