Fill a position or reside (6)

I believe the answer is:

occupy

(Other definitions for occupy that I've seen before include "Reside in; keep busy" , "Fill, take up (space)" , "Engross" , "Hold (a position) keep (someone) busy" , "Live in a space" .)

I've seen this clue in the Irish Times (Simplex) and The Irish Times.
