Iain Campbell is a Senior Research Fellow at CASR, working on several major projects to do with labour market restructuring, working time patterns and the quality of work. Prior to this appointment, he was an ARC Postdoctoral Research Fellow at CASR, working on a project that examined trade union strategies and changing working-time patterns in Australia, France, Germany and the United Kingdom. Before joining CASR, he worked as a Research Fellow at the National Key Centre in Industrial Relations at Monash University. He has a background in the sociology of work, industrial relations and economic geography. His doctoral research at the University of Melbourne was on the topic of casual employment in Australia. Apart from working-time, his research interests include labour regulation, labour restructuring, casual employment, work and family issues, unemployment and the future of work.

Iain is experienced in the use of official labour force statistics, both in Australia and cross-nationally. He can speak German and French and has an extensive knowledge of contemporary European debates and policy initiatives in the general areas of employment and social welfare. He is a member of several professional associations, including the International Sociological Association (ISA), the International Industrial Relations Association (IIRA) and the International Working Party on Labour Market Segmentation (IWPLMS).
