Whakauae Winter Studentship 2022

Whakauae Winter Studentship 2022

For tertiary students interested in getting some real research experience and working with senior Māori health researchers for three months during the 2022 winter, our studentship is intended to assist a student in the development of their research skills.

The selected student will work under the direction and guidance of one of our Māori researchers on a research project that focuses what is required to build Māori research capacity. The project requires a literature review to be undertaken to provide a thorough understanding of relevant literature that identifies key ideas, schools of thought and theories and how these are applied.

The literature review will provide the student support with their academic journey and offer a unique opportunity to apply existing skills and knowledge in analytic thinking and writing, as well as being supported in new learnings within the environment of research excellence at Whakauae.

The Studentship includes payment of a tax-free award of $6,000 and will run from late June 2022 to September 2022 – subject to agreement.
