Research Branch
Non-ongoing Vacancies
(Ref: JO602)
The Research Branch of the Parliamentary Library is seeking expressions of interest for its Temporary Employment Register. This Register is for people interested in non-ongoing short-term employment, often at short notice, when we need the services of additional staff or special expertise. Positions range from PEL1 Senior Researcher and Senior Law Librarian roles to the APS2 Section Assistant level.
The Branch provides high quality information, analysis and advice to Senators and Members of Parliament in support of their parliamentary and representational roles. This includes responding to individual client requests and the preparation of a range of publications and other resources.
The Branch requires expertise across the full range of government activity. Currently, the Foreign Affairs, Defence and Security Section is seeking to fill two defence specialist positions—a PEL1 Senior Researcher position for immediate start until 9 August 2013, and a PSL6 Researcher position for a period of 12 months from mid-March. Vacancies in the Economics Section and in the health area of the Social Policy Section are also expected over the next 6 months. Existing valid applications on the Register will be considered, but applicants who have not renewed their application in the last twelve months are encouraged to do so.
These positions provide a great opportunity to experience the workings of the Australian Parliament.
