We are looking for a researcher to join our dynamic team. In this role you will either lead or be part of research teams which deliver high-quality education research and evaluation. You may be early in your career or looking for a change. We work across a wide range of areas from curriculum development and student wellbeing, to te reo Māori language revitalisation, Pacific learner success, and policy evaluation.
NZCER is a vibrant, independent educational research organisation based in Wellington. We have multiple education research, evaluation, and advisory projects on the go at any time.

We welcome applications from people with:

- critical thinking and analytic skills
- excellent communication skills
- a passion for making a difference for all learners.
We are particularly interested in strengthening our team in Pacific education research and early learning.
Our people have expertise in both research and practice, and we are strongly connected to the education sector in Aotearoa New Zealand. We use the principles of the Treaty of Waitangi as the founding document of Aotearoa to help us uphold mana Māori in our work, relationships, and ways of working.
