Weiping joined the Melbourne Institute in April 2008. She is currently involved in the Labour Economics and Social Policy research program as a research fellow. She is completing her PhD in applied microeconometrics at Monash University.

Weiping’s main research interests are microeconometric models with applications to labour, migration and health economics. Her PhD thesis titled labour market assimilation of immigrants in Australia, examines some issues of occupation transition in the early stage settlement, the consequence of underemployment on psychological wellbeing, and the long-term effects of labour market achievement on subjective wellbeing. Weiping is currently involved with projects: spatial mobility and social exclusion, macro-economic condition and youth school-to-work transition.
