You will also have the ability to lead and work as part of a team and be adept at using your initiative. You will be research active in this role. You will need outstanding communication skills and enjoy working with people from diverse backgrounds.

We know how important it is for our akōnga and kaimahi (staff) to have their culture and values reflected in our way of working and in the people we recruit. To support this, MIT seeks to grow the number of Māori and Pasifika kaimahi across our Institute and gives recognition to applicants who demonstrate Māori and / or Pasifika cultural knowledge and skills.
