Professor Jenny Corbett.
I am pleased to announce the appointment of leading financial and economic expert Professor Jennifer Corbett as Pro Vice-Chancellor (Research and Research Training). With her extensive research experience, international standing and wide-ranging connections, Professor Corbett is ideally placed to help build on the University’s record of research excellence as a member of the University Executive. This is a key role that will position ANU as a leader in graduate and early career researcher training and ensure effective research relationships are established with the University’s international, industry and business partners.
Professor Corbett is a highly distinguished researcher with an exceptional history of leading major research projects in Australia and internationally. Her expertise has been sought by some of the world’s foremost economic institutions, including the World Bank, the Organisation for Economic Cooperation and Development, the Asian Development Bank and the European Commission.
Professor Corbett has a long association with ANU, having first come here to study as an undergraduate. She has already made a significant contribution to furthering research at the University since returning in 2001, particularly over the last seven years, as Executive Director of the Australia-Japan Research Centre at the Crawford School of Public Policy. She has held the position of Associate Dean for Research in the ANU College of Asia and the Pacific and since mid-September she has served as Acting Pro Vice-Chancellor (Research and Research Training).
Professor Corbett is also a Reader in the Economy of Japan at the University of Oxford, a Research Fellow of the Centre for Economic Policy Research (London), a Research Associate of the Centre for Japanese Economy and Business at Columbia University and a member of the Australia New Zealand Shadow Financial Regulatory Committee.
