**Tēnei tūranga - About the role**:
The Departmental Science Advisor role is one of two exciting opportunities to provide independent science advice to MBIE.

(The other opportunity is for a Chief Science Advisor, of which the DSA role reports to. Please refer here to review the advertisement for the Chief Science Advisor role).

These are unique and important roles which will allow you to make a significant impact on New Zealand’s science system and how we invest in our future, whilst also cementing New Zealand’s reputation for excellent research in the world of science.

You will currently be an active leader in the New Zealand scientific community with a proven track record of experience and achievement in the scientific and academic community.

You will be seconded to MBIE for a proportion of your time so that you can continue your current research or maintain a hand in your scientific field. The secondment also helps you to be a conduit between MBIE and the science system.

For this DSA role approximately 50% of your time will be working for MBIE (the other 50% remains in your substantive position).

The DSA brings their science sector expertise, thinking and networks to work with MBIE on the challenges facing the science sector and act as a conduit between MBIE and the science sector.

You will contribute to the science leadership team led by the Chief Science Advisor. The team provides scientific leadership within MBIE in areas requiring scientific depth.
