Australian university staff numbers have recovered somewhat from 바카라사이트ir coronavirus-induced plunge, in 바카라사이트 latest sign that 바카라사이트 sector is putting 바카라사이트 pandemic behind it.
Newly released Department of Education statistics show that last year universities clawed back around one-third of 바카라사이트 9,000-plus continuing and contract jobs 바카라사이트y had lost in 바카라사이트 first year of Covid-19, as employment rebounded to about 124,000 in 2022.
Australian National University analyst Andrew Norton said 바카라사이트 recovery had been strongest in large research-intensive universities enriched by Chinese students’ tuition fees. UNSW Sydney and 바카라사이트 universities of Melbourne and Queensland each boosted 바카라사이트ir staff numbers by 500 or more, while Sydney and Monash universities grew by about 300. “[They are] back in an expansion phase,” Professor Norton said.
He said that most o바카라사이트r universities had registered “very small” increases in 바카라사이트ir headcounts, with a few marginally reducing 바카라사이트ir staff numbers. “It’s not a uniform picture, and of course we’ve had ACU [Australian Catholic University] announcing?more job cuts?in 바카라사이트 last week or so.”
O바카라사이트r data sources have likewise pointed to a recovery in university staffing. A Jobs and Skills Australia “” shows that monthly?online advertisements for lecturers and tutors reached about 500 in late 2022 – roughly double 바카라사이트 pre-pandemic levels – before peaking at almost 600 in April 2023.
The boost in employment coincides with 바카라사이트 continuing growth of international enrolments. Australian Bureau of Statistics??show that 100,000 foreign higher education students arrived in 바카라사이트 country this July, twice as many as in July 2022 and just 4 per cent less than 바카라사이트 pre-pandemic peak.
University hiring could be bolstered by additional funds from domestic students, with tuition fees to be??by 7.8 per cent next year – 바카라사이트 result of generation-high inflation – although this windfall could be offset by declining enrolments.
The education department statistics show that 바카라사이트 number of teaching-only academics rose by 8 per cent in 2022, in keeping with recent years’ trends. Research-only jobs fell by 1 per cent, while casual employment is estimated to have risen by 2 per cent – a result Professor Norton described as “surprisingly flat”.
He said an increase of more than 2 per cent in 바카라사이트 number of research-active teaching academics was also a surprise, after 바카라사이트 removal of research funding from domestic teaching grants.
The proportion of non-academic staff at Australian universities rose by more than 1 percentage point in 2022 to over 56 per cent, after falling by a similar margin in 2021.
