Proposal to develop a government postdoctoral scheme

My submission proposes that MBIE develop a postdoctoral program to place early career researchers into roles within central government. I argue that a government postdoctoral fellowship scheme would be a low investment, high impact, way to improve the research, science, and innovation career pipeline. It would (i) retain talent in New Zealand, (ii) provide a career pathway into government and industry for ECRs, and (iii) strengthen collaboration at the science-policy interface.
