Help shape a fairer and more prosperous Australia
December 2025

Are you passionate about using economics to tackle inequality, housing affordability, and the concentration of unearned wealth? At Prosper Australia, we’re building the evidence base for a fairer tax system — one that rewards effort, not speculation.

Our research, policy, and advocacy work sit at the intersection of economics, justice, and sustainability. We bridge rigorous analysis with public debate and practical policy reform, grounded in the Georgist principle that the value of land and natural resources should benefit the whole community.

We’re inviting expressions of interest from economic researchers at all career stages who want to use their skills to drive structural change.

Whether you are:

• An experienced economist wishing to direct a highly impactful research agenda,
• An early-career economist seeking to develop your expertise through applied research and policy engagement, 
• An academic looking to see your research translate into real-world impact, or
• An experienced policy thinker with a strong interest in the Georgist agenda.  

…we’d love to hear from you.

We offer a supportive and intellectually engaging environment that values:

Independent thinking

• Evidence-based, non-partisan research
• Space to explore bold ideas and challenge orthodoxy

Meaningful impact

• Research that informs national policy debates
• Opportunities to engage media, decision-makers, and the public

Professional growth

• Experience and collaboration across research, communications, and advocacy
• Exposure to diverse policy areas — spanning all areas of land, tax and housing policy

Flexible and inclusive work environment

• Hybrid and remote work options
• Supportive and purpose-driven team culture

Who we’re looking for

We welcome applicants who are:

• Skilled in economic analysis, research design, or data interpretation
• Curious about the role of land, monopoly, and rent in shaping economic outcomes
• Interested in translating research into accessible outputs for both policy and public audiences
• Have the right to work in Australia
