<br>
<p>For tertiary students interested in getting some real research experience and working with senior M&#257;ori health researchers for three months during the 2022 winter, our studentship is intended to assist a student in the development of their research skills.</p>

<p>The selected student will work under the direction and guidance of one of our M&#257;ori researchers on a research project that focuses what is required to build M&#257;ori 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.</p>

<p>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.</p>

<p>The Studentship includes payment of a tax-free award of $6,000 and will run from late June 2022 to September 2022 &ndash; subject to agreement.</p>
