The Opportunity
Are you ready to shape the future of policy research? Join us as a post- doctoral fellow at Monash University and immerse yourself in ground-breaking projects. As a key collaborator, you'll work closely with esteemed academic staff, harnessing the power of ABS (Australian Bureau of Statistics) administrative micro data products. Dive into Income Tax Return Data, DOMINO (government transfers), BLADE (firm-level data), micro-level Census data, and Pharmaceutical Benefits. Your journey here will be dynamic, focusing on critical issues like job transitions, the gender wage gap, childcare accessibility, health equity, and environmental justice. Collaborate, innovate, and leave your mark as you co-author transformative research. Plus, you'll have the autonomy for your complementary studies, supported by our access to ABS data sources. Don't just follow the trends; set them with Monash University.
About You
As a Research Fellow in Economics at Monash University, you'll need a doctoral qualification in Economics or a closely related field.
