Abstract | Tertiary education providers increasingly recruit international teaching staff in their drive to fill skills gaps and build institutional knowledge and research capacity but literature examining the adjustment experiences of these academic migrants remains limited. This multiple case study focuses on Aotearoa New Zealand's ITP (Institutes of Technology and Polytechnics) sector and explores how the experience of migration has impacted on four long-term academic staff with a range of industry, teaching and research experience. Adapting to a new teaching and learning environment presented initial challenges for some of these migrant teaching staff, but their overall adjustment experience has been positive. The study identifies factors which have influenced their successful acculturation and highlights how these international teaching professionals are contributing significantly to the academic life of their institution, particularly in the area of curriculum development.
