  • Develop and maintain research collaborations with local, national, and international scientists in tidal energy research.
  • Provide scientific oversight and advocacy in support of FORCE’s research and monitoring programs.
  • Manage environmental program support staff including ocean technologists and subcontractors.
  • Support stakeholder engagement activities, including presentations and meetings with First Nations, fishers and coastal communities.
  • Support the board of directors and FORCE staff to deliver the FORCE mandate.

Qualifications

Education and Experience:

  • Master’s or PhD degree in marine environmental science, fisheries biology or a relevant marine field.
  • Demonstrated experience in project management.

The following characteristics will be considered a strong asset:

  • Experience with fisheries acoustics.
  • Demonstrated teamwork skills.
  • Experience writing grants.
  • Experience with public speaking.
  • Experience working with multiple stakeholders and building networks.
  • Knowledge in occupational health and safety practices.

Terms

This is a permanent, full-time position. Compensation will be commensurate with skills and experience. The successful candidate may choose either Parrsboro or Halifax, Nova Scotia, as the primary work location. A valid driver’s license is required; candidates must be willing to travel.
