October 2003 Peter J. Donaldson Returns to Direct Council's Largest Division Peter J. Donaldson joined the Population Council as vice president and director of its International Programs Division in May 2003. Donaldson comes to the Council after serving as president of the Population Reference Bureau for nine years, but he definitely is not "new" to the organization. His first postdoctoral position was at the Council, conducting research in Thailand and South Korea in the mid-1970s. After working for other institutions for over a decade, Donaldson was back from 1989 to 1994 as regional director for South and East Asia. "I am very enthusiastic about my new position," says Donaldson. "The Population Council is an important international institution. Each time I have worked at the Council, I have been impressed by the quality of the research and the ability of the staff," he added. Donaldson has also served as the director of development and government relations at Family Health International and as director of the Committee on Population of the National Research Council. He is the author, co-author, or editor of six books and more than 60 scientific and popular articles on population, development, Asian affairs, and other issues. Donaldson earned a B.A. from Fordham University and a Ph.D. in sociology from Brown University. See Also
