Massey University and its College of Business have made a large commitment to research and scholarship. This has resulted in Finance at Massey University being ranked No 1 in New Zealand; we are seeking to develop an equally strong economics programme. We are accredited by AACSB, Association of MBAs, and are a CFA partner school. We offer a low teaching load (typically three courses a year) and beginning academics will normally start their career with us at a teaching load of two courses in their first year. If the Associate Head of School position is attached to this appointment the appointee will have a reduced teaching load while holding this responsibility.
