These brand new mid-year NPM internships have been designed to support tauira and enhance research outcomes in these uncertain times. The internships require senior or mid-career researchers and students to work together to design an internship which will have relevance to Māori in the face of a fast changing and challenging Covid-19 environment.
In order to access these internships NPM Investigators and Researchers must conceive of and outline a project and connect with a student that they want to work with, submitting all details in one application. And so;
Students - talk to your lecturers and supervisors to see whether this opportunity might be possible for you!
NPM Researchers and Investigators - talk to your students to see whether might be interested!
Valued at $4,500 the internships will run between 1 July – 1 December 2020. NPM researchers should apply outlining and detailing both the proposed NPM Matariki New Horizon research project and also a suitable Māori student to undertake the internship.
16 Internships are available!
