Job Description:
- Advance brain health research through supporting a team of researchers in collaboration with community services and members
- Make meaningful impact on brain health by communicating latest research findings to the public
- 2 year fixed-term, part time role based at AUT Millennium (22.5 hours per week)
Auckland University of Technology (AUT) is New Zealand's newest university and one of its most distinctive. Centred on students and grounded in knowledge that works, AUT is 5-star rated by QS, with more than 27,000 students and 4,000 staff based primarily across three Auckland campuses. It's a place of real opportunity, where the values of Pono, Tika and Aroha shape how talented, progressive people work together – and you'll feel that in the culture, in the collaboration and in the difference the work makes for students, communities and the world.
Our community is stronger because of the role Te Tiriti plays in how we operate, and because Māori and Pacific knowledge, leadership and contribution are central to who we are. We embrace diversity in all its forms and are proud to welcome people of all ethnicities, genders, sexual orientations, religious and political beliefs, socio-economic situations and accessibility needs.
The Brain Health Research Institute in the School of Science deliver leading applied research in brain health and neuroscience with the aim to make a difference to the lives of people living with the affects of brain injury or disease and to optimise long term brain health for all.
