Who we are/Mō mātou
Founded in 1869, the University of Otago is New Zealand’s first and oldest University. Since its beginning it placed a high value on education and recognised the important role universities play in shaping individuals and society – we are committed to continuing this vision, and growing to fit today’s and tomorrow’s world.
We place a high priority on our partnership with tangata whenua and the importance of te ao Māori. Otago has a strong teaching and research tradition and well-established national and international linkages.
We are also one of New Zealand’s largest universities, with over 20,000 students, assets in excess of $2.0 billion and 4,000 full time equivalent staff based in Dunedin, Christchurch, Wellington, Auckland and Invercargill. The University of Otago recognises that our staff are the key to our success.
The role/Te Mahi
Research makes a difference: to our lives, to our economy, to our society and to our environment. At the University of Otago, we have a strong history of research and scholarship and we are proud to be one of New Zealand’s most research-intensive universities.
The Research and Enterprise Office (R&E) supports and assists researchers in the identification of funding opportunities, partnering with business, grant applications, and the establishment of research contracts.
We work closely with academic staff, students and Otago Innovation Ltd (the University’s wholly owned commercialisation arm) to foster a culture of enterprise and collaboration. Since its formation in 2011, R&E has grown research income from $88M to over $150M, through an extended period of significant change in government strategy and investment.
Our Research Advisors provide strategic advice and assistance to academic staff in the development of research funding applications and the management of research projects. Research Advisors also negotiate contracts that maximise external research income, publication and intellectual property outcomes.
