The role and responsibilities of theme leaders are set out in the person specification. Each of our theme leaders (0.4 FTE) works across the Challenge, but with a primary responsibility for one of our three research themes.
Our current vacancy is for a leader for the Pathways to Transition theme. This theme works with land stewards and organisations in the agri-food and fibre system to design new options and pathways to achieve future landscapes and enhance te Taiao.
The research seeks to achieve significant impact on the sector, identify and explore new options and feasible pathways for change by 2024, and initiate a reconfiguration of the agri-food and fibre systems to realise these options and pathways by 2023.

An understanding of te ao Māori, and how this can inform improved management approaches and outcomes across the primary production sector, is also a requirement.
If you have enthusiasm for the role, meet its requirements and have adequate time available, please submit a letter outlining your background, experience and overall fit with the person specification.
