Calling for applications for the IUSSP Early Career Awards 2024!
The International Union for the Scientific Study of Population (IUSSP) Early Career Award, established in 2023 by the IUSSP Council, recognizes the exceptional work of early-career scholars in population studies across various global regions. The award highlights innovative research that advances the discipline and the broad field of population studies, while simultaneously enhancing the global visibility of scholars’ achievements.

Offered biennially, the award focuses on scholars from five major world regions: Africa, Asia and the Pacific, Europe, Latin America and the Caribbean, and North America. By honoring one scholar from each region, the IUSSP ensures that the award represents the diversity and unique perspectives of researchers from across the globe. This is made possible through partnerships with leading regional population associations, including the Union for African Population Studies (UAPS), the Asian Population Association (APA), the European Association for Population Studies (EAPS), the Latin American Population Association (ALAP), and the Population Association of America (PAA).

The IUSSP Early Career Award not only acknowledges significant contributions to the field but also aims to elevate the stature and influence of emerging scholars within their respective regions and beyond. This collaborative effort between IUSSP and regional associations provides a platform for young researchers to gain international recognition, potentially opening doors to further research opportunities, funding, and networking within the global population studies community. The next round of awards will be announced in 2025, continuing the biennial tradition of celebrating scholarly excellence in population studies.

Eligibilities
- Candidates should be early career scholars in the population field with not more than 7 years of experience after their PhD at the time of nomination.
- candidates from a region should be a resident of that region at the time of nomination; in case of temporary postings (e.g. as a postdoc) candidates will qualify for the award from the region in which they are permanently/mainly based.
- candidates should be a member of the IUSSP at the time of nomination.
- nominations should be supported by at least 5 IUSSP members, 3 of whom should be from more than 1 country in the region of the candidate, and 2 supporters may be from other regions.
- candidates may also nominate themselves; self-nominations must be supported by at least 5 IUSSP members, 3 of whom should be from more than 1 country in the region of the candidate, and 2 supporters may be from other regions.
- nominations and self-nominations cannot be supported by members of the IUSSP Council.
Application Process
- Nominations should be made by filling out the online application form.
Before filling out the application, please prepare a short justification (maximum of 1000 characters) for the nomination, and if available, short statements of support from IUSSP sponsors who have been identified as supporters. The following documents should also be prepared for uploading:
- a 1-2 page explanatory statement/letter of nomination that can also include supporting statements from sponsors,
- a full curriculum vitae including a list of publications of the candidate, and
- any justifications for leaves of absence for those who received their PhD more than 7 years ago.
You will also be asked to enter the last names of supporters to retrieve them from the IUSSP member database. Institutional affiliation and country of residence will be automatically entered based on members’ profile information. Please ensure nominees and all sponsors are current IUSSP members and their profile information is up-to-date for institutional affiliation, country of residence and, for nominees, information on their diploma and date awarded. If you do not find the nominee or sponsor’s name in the drop-down list, it likely means their membership has expired and they will need to renew before you complete the application, or you will need to find another sponsor. If you cannot complete the application, it will be saved and you can return to fill it in later. If you are nominating someone else, please include yourself as a sponsor.
Application Deadline: October 1, 2024 (1 Day Remaining)
