Professor Bryony James

I started as your regular jobbing academic at the University of Auckland, balancing research and teaching in the Faculty of Engineering and wondering why the days were never quite long enough to get everything done. I taught first year Materials Science to 1000 undergraduates every year and loved every second of it. My research led me from a PhD in aluminium smelting, through materials characterisation and surface engineering, to food materials science and the properties that dictate how food feels as we chew it. It was a bit meandering, but loads of fun. 

As time progressed I realised that my deepest passion lay in supporting the research and teaching of other people. That led me to a variety of roles, firstly at UoA, then as Deputy Vice Chancellor Research at the University of Waikato, and finally to Te Herenga Waka – Victoria University of Wellington, as Provost.  This means I am very much poacher turned gamekeeper, and understand the incentives and disincentives that academic staff grapple with on the daily.   

I currently chair the Open Access Steering Group of Universities New Zealand.  The landscape of research dissemination and knowledge mobilisation is seismically unstable at the moment, and Open Access is very much part of the shifting ground.  It’s an exciting time to be working in support of research and researchers right now.
