The Drug Trends program is an internationally-renowned system which the National Drug and Alcohol Research Centre (NDARC) has coordinated since 1996.

The program is key to identifying emerging problems in drug use in Australia, and providing impetus for policy responses and intervention.

The Drug Trends program is entering an exciting new phase, adopting novel methods to respond to new challenges in monitoring availability (e.g., online drug marketplaces) and innovative communication strategies to reach national and international audiences.


The Research Assistant will contribute to our program of research utilising online data on drug supply and markets, including extracting data from surface and darknet drug marketplaces.

Specifically, the Research Assistant will manage and contribute to pre-existing software used to extract, manage and analyse these online data.

We are seeking someone available for a minimum of 7-21 hours a week.
