Interesting opportunities for APECS Canada members!

Hello everyone,

We have a few opportunities to announce to our members:

1) Job opportunity with RBR

Are you a scientist or engineer that wants to do more? Do you want to get involved with more innovative projects? Do you want to travel to more conferences, visit really cool labs and connect with great people? Do you want to throw really accurate and valuable equipment into the ocean, out of a plane, or strapped to the back of a robot – perhaps never to be seen again? Do you want to have a fun career while doing meaningful work to make a difference to people and the planet?  RBR-Global is looking for good candidates who might be interesting in considering a transition to the commercial world (with a keen focus still on really cool engineering, science and research!).  We are looking to add another outstanding Technical Sales Manager to our already great team. We have found that oceanographers, hydrographers, coastal/river engineers, and field technicians (with lots of hands-on experience) have typically been the most effective sales people to help support our research/academic customers.  Please consult the following for more informationhttps://rbr-global.com/about-rbr/careers#technical-sales-manager

2) Documents on ethical research in the north

The INQ (Institut Nordique du Québec) has just published a document. Drafted by the First Nations working group within INQ, the document speaks of ethical research in the North. This is good information to take into account before launching your field seasons!
