Canberra, Australia Australian Bureau of Statistics Full time

APS3 Level: $64,681 - $72,911 pro rata (plus 15.4% superannuation and allowances)
- Location: Canberra, Melbourne or Sydney
- Several non-ongoing part-time APS3 positions

The Australian Bureau of Statistics (ABS) is currently seeking several **Student Data Scientists and Student Data Analysts** to join our Statistical Production and Digital Services Division in the Safe DataLab Clearance section.

This is an opportunity to develop practical experience in the growing Data Science and Data Analysis fields, by being part of projects that inform and benefit the Australian Government and community.

**About the area**

DataLab is the ABS analysis solution for users who want to undertake real time complex analysis of detailed microdata. The ABS uses the Five Safes Framework to assess and manage the disclosure risk associated with the use of information in the DataLab.

Users conduct their analysis within the secure environment, using statistical software such as R, SAS, Stata and Python. DataLab analysts have access to a range of datasets including ABS survey results, administrative data collected by other organisations and integrated datasets.

All outputs produced in the DataLab are cleared by the ABS before being released. This is to ensure that they do not present a disclosure risk to any persons, groups or organisations whose microdata is in the dataset. This includes checking for cells with a small number of contributors, or cells where one or two persons or organisations dominate the cell value.

The use of the DataLab - and the requirement for clearance - continues to grow, in response to an increasing demand for data to support complex analysis.

**About the role**

We are looking for students to undertake clearance checking of DataLab outputs, to support the ABS to meet its legislative obligations with respect to data confidentiality.

Full support and training is provided. This work is conducted independently as part of a team of both other students and permanent staff. We are seeking students who can work part time, we can offer work hours are flexible and negotiable to fit in with your studies. After an onboarding period they role can be undertaken at home or in an ABS office.

- Curiosity, critical thinking and reasoning, with the ability to anticipate and analyse issues and develop logical conclusions
- Sound communication skills to clearly and accurately convey technical information

- At least first year mathematics/statistics units completed, and at least one year remaining on degree
