Kia ora koutou katoa,

Ngā Pae o te Māramatanga is very pleased to announce its 2014 - 2015 summer internship programme.  This programme is designed for Māori and Indigenous students who are looking to advance their skills and capacity in indigenous development research.

Students will work under the direction and guidance of a senior researcher on a project that aligns with, and contributes to, advancing the research plan of Ngā Pae o te Māramatanga.

There are 10 internships available and each is worth $NZD5,000

We now invite our senior researchers to submit a short research proposal for an internship project.

The proposal should be for a research project that will be carried out over a ten week period – primarily during the university summer holiday break.

For further information and to submit a proposal please visit the Nga Pae o te Maramatanga website.

All proposals should be recieved no later than 8th September, 2014.

From September 18th, 2014, students will be invited to apply for one of the ten internships.
