To be successful in this role you will have:
- Knowledge and experience in the context of climate change adaptation and natural resources.
- Some experience in the interface between social science, biophysical science and environmental management.
- An appreciation of tikanga, Mātauranga Māori and Te Tiriti o Waitangi, experience working with Māori and developing the associated capabilities to working effectively with Māori.
- Experience in collaborative research with communities would be advantageous, as would systems thinking, and facilitation and workshop skills.
- Varied, challenging and important work with talented colleagues in an organisation devoted to environmental science.
- A high performing organisation with a focus on employee development and wellbeing.
- Generous leave entitlements and employee benefits.

We don't expect perfection in our candidates - if you think you have what it takes, but don't meet every point referenced in the position description, please still get in touch!
