Andreas Cebulla joined the Australian Industrial Transformation Institute (AITI) in June 2020 after four years at the South Australian Centre for Economic Studies at the University of Adelaide. Between 2012 and 2016, he was Senior Research Fellow at the National Institute of Labour Studies, Flinders University, which he had joined from the National Institute of Economic and Social Research in London, where he continued to hold a Visiting Research Fellow, later Senior Econnomist position until 2019.  

Andreas has researched and published widely on the topic of welfare activation, including the meta-analysis of welfare-to-work programs in the US and reform programs targeting lone parents and people with disability in the UK. Besides welfare policy, he has studied the sociology of risk, conducting studies examining the validity of Giddens's and Beck's theories, with a focus on young people and generational change. 

His empirical work has extended into disability (including the evaluation of Australia's National Disability Insurance Scheme, and NDIS workforce needs assessments) and ageing, where he has focussed on human resource and workplace policies for extended working lives.  Andreas has also conducted research for practitioners on social enterprise, procurement and social value.  His current work explores, amongst others, ethical implication of Artificial Intelligence for workplaces.  He is also part of an AHURI research project on housing preferences of older renters in Australia. 

Andreas conducts both qualitative and quantitative research.
