Hi there,
I am almsot finished with my PhD. I may be offerred a Research assistant position at a NZ University.
However, they will only pay 0.75 FTE of the Research Assitant position - so it would not be full time.
They can manage to give about 30 hours. Thus, the payrate per hour would be the same at the full time reserach assitant post, but all 40 hours would not be given.
Can I apply for residence on this basis?
Or do I need to be employed for atleast 40 hours so thats its fulltime?
