Institution Profile

Institution Description:

Massey is New Zealand’s defining university. With a proud 90-year tradition of academic excellence, we are inspired by our name Te Kunenga Ki Pūrehuroa; from inception to infinity. Massey is not simply defined by what we do, but by how we do it. We are committed to taking responsibility for finding solutions to some of the world's most difficult problems by drawing together our expertise and research, and making it available to decision makers.

Massey is known for its:

• ground breaking research
• the applied nature of many of our teaching and research programmes
• contribution to land-based industries
• distinctive mix of campus-based, distance and international teaching to over 30,000 students
• commitment to innovation
• close links with the community

Ranked as the most attractive employer brand in New Zealand in the education category at the 2013 and 2014 Randstad Awards, we are committed to our staff and we offer them a wealth of opportunities for a rewarding career - not just a job. We currently employ over 3,500 people at our three main campuses in Auckland, Palmerston North and Wellington. Each campus has a different local culture and distinct ‘focus’. The Auckland campus is known as the Innovation campus, Palmerston North, the AgriFood and UniverCITY Campus and Wellington the Creative Capital. The link that ties the University across the three campuses is our shared vision:
“To be New Zealand’s defining university and a world leader in higher education and scholarship”

As one of the world’s top 300 universities as judged by QS rankings, Massey University is also an equal opportunities employer and we value diversity in the workplace. As a Tiriti-led University we are committed to demonstrating authentic leadership in contemporary Aotearoa New Zealand as we uphold Te Tiriti o Waitangi, the founding document of our nation, and its principles through our practice. In addition to salary, Massey offers a number of staff benefits, including up to 6.75% employer contribution into superannuation, five university holidays per year, subsidised health insurance, comprehensive professional development programmes and subsidised university course fees for eligible employees, as well as many more.

Our people are instrumental in working collaboratively and creatively to help us to achieve our strategic priorities. That’s why we look for the best and brightest individuals to join our team. We are looking forward to our future - so come join us in shaping the future of the new New Zealand, and help us to make a difference in the world in a positive, practical way!
