MBIE Science Whitinga Fellowship

The Fellowship is a new “one off” initiative from the Ministry of Business, Innovation and Employment in response to some of the acute impacts from the COVID-19 pandemic being experienced by Aotearoa New Zealand early career researchers. The intent of the Fellowship is to support up and coming researchers to rise and establish a career in their chosen field of research. This is captured in the name of the Fellowship “Te whitinga mai o te rā” which can translate to “the rising of the sun”.

Diversity aims
The Fellowships will support diversity in the Research, Science and Innovation system in line with MBIE’s Diversity in Science Statement. For this reason, it is intended that at least five researchers identifying as Māori (Māori Researchers) and at least three researchers identifying as Pacific Peoples (Pacific Researchers) will be amongst the cohort of 30 funded Fellows. It is also intended that at least 50% of those funded will identify as female.

Support available
Thirty Fellowships of two years in length will be awarded for research undertaken in any field, including the humanities, mātauranga and social science at an eligible Aotearoa New Zealand research institution. The fellowship will award a total of $320,000 (GST excl.) with $75,000 p.a. towards the researcher’s salary, $75,000 p.a. towards the research organisation’s costs, and $10,000 p.a. in research-related expenses. The Fellowship are awarded on an at least 0.8 Full Time Equivalent basis, unless otherwise agreed by Royal Society Te Apārangi. 

Eligibility criteria 

• Applicants must be either Aotearoa New Zealand citizens, or permanent residents.
• Applicants must have a PhD conferred on or after 01 January 2017.
• Applicants should normally not currently hold a research role, unless that role is fixed-term and due to end before 31 December 2021.
