[Prcenter] A message from Ken Wachter regarding our faculty search

[Liz Ozselcuk]

Dear Population Research Center members, Demography staff and students:

I want to let you and other friends of Demography know about the outcome 
of our faculty search in Demography at the tenured level which has now 
concluded.  Acting on recommendations from the Search Committee, the 
Department selected and approached two candidates in turn, but in the end 
we were not able to arrange an appointment.

There are structural features which make recruitment at this level 
difficult for Berkeley.  We shall appreciate your advice as we go on to 
consider our best options in the wake of this outcome, as we seek to 
assure the future of demographic studies on our campus over the long run.



Kenneth W.  Wachter
Chair, Department of Demography
