Harold has held the position of Honorary Lecturer in Statistics since 1991. His work experience includes the position of Biometrician with the Ministry of Agriculture & Fisheries in Wellington from 1975-76 together with a period of study leave at Cornell University, before joining Ruakura Research Centre in 1979, where he is a statistician with AgResearch.
