The Centre for Population and Urban Research is an independent research unit that prepares reports for a number of Commonwealth, State and Local Government departments as well as for private sector agencies. It also publishes the journal, People and Place.

The Centre's concern is to better understand the social and economic well being of Australians as described by indicators of their employment, education level, income, welfare benefit dependency, family status and related characteristics. Regional/metropolitan and within metropolitan differences on these dimensions are a particular focus.

construction of indicators of well being of diverse communities across Australia.

Applicants should have extensive experience in management and preparation of large complex electronic databases; detailed knowledge of relevant databases with a focus on Australian Bureau of Statistics data, particularly those that provided in electronic format including on-line data, CDATA and customised tables; highly developed writing abilities, and desktop publication skills. Knowledge of academic publishing requirements and administrative experience in a university environment would be an advantage.
