Position overview
The ANU College of Asia and the Pacific (CAP) leads intellectual engagement with the Asia-Pacific region through research, teaching and contributions to public debate, and seeks to set the international standard for scholarship concerning the region. The Crawford School of Public Policy is one of four Schools within the ANU College of Asia and the Pacific and one of the world’s leading public policy schools.
The Individual Deprivation Measure (IDM) is a new, gender-sensitive measure of multi-dimensional poverty. The IDM is a composite measure made up of 15 dimensions of deprivation and moves beyond the binary threshold to multiple levels of deprivation. The IDM is the first mainstream measure of multi-dimensional poverty designed to be sensitive to the gendered nature of poverty. It was developed through a four-year, multidisciplinary international research collaboration, based at ANU and funded by the Australian Research Council. The Crawford School of Public Policy is now hosting the next phase of the IDM development (2016-2020), in collaboration with the International Women’s Development Agency (IWDA) and funded by the Australian Department of Foreign Affairs and Trade. The IDM Program will involve further refinement of this composite measure, field studies in up to five countries, analysis of survey data, and communication of the IDM to a global audience.
The Fellow (IDM) based within the ANU Individual Deprivation Measure (IDM) team at the Crawford School of Public Policy, plays a major role in the technical and conceptual development of the quantitative components and statistical elements of the IDM, including sensitivity testing and composite index construction.
The successful applicant will be expected to have a PhD in either statistics, demography, economics, or a cognate discipline, with a demonstrated track record of high quality scholarly research and publication, particularly in the area of composite index construction. Experience in analysing large-scale survey data is also required (poverty and gender related topics is desired; competence in use of R is necessary).
