Funded PhD in Occupational Mobility, Productivity, Equity and Future of Work New Zealand Policy Research Institute in New Zealand

Funded PhD opportunity in Aotearoa New Zealand focused on occupational mobility, productivity growth, equity, and the future of work. The project is part of the Endeavour programme Boosting Productivity Growth by Creating Equal Workplace Opportunities for All and is being promoted by the New Zealand Policy Research Institute (NZPRI).

The research theme is specifically framed around Kaupapa Māori research on occupational mobility, with attention to Māori business barriers and enablers, leadership, social mobility, workplace practices, and pathways to equitable outcomes. The post says the student will work with Professor Matthew Roskruge at Massey University and Māori research partners.

Methodologically, the project mentions interviews, wānanga, case studies, and organisational analysis. It is a strong fit for applicants interested in Māori business, Indigenous methods, workplace equity, management, business, economics, and related social science research.

The post describes the opportunity as funded, but does not provide a stipend amount, tuition coverage, or a formal deadline. To apply, candidates are asked to send their CV and availability directly to the supervisor by email.
