As part of the implementation of the Energy Research Strategy, projects are seeking to hire highly qualified personnel (HQP) for our major initiatives, including the Global Research Initiative and the Canada Excellence Research Chair.
Each candidate will be required to work within a team environment and so excellent communication skills and the ability to work effectively with a diverse group of interdisciplinary researchers is a must. In assembling the research teams, aggressive diversity and equity targets are in place and so applications from under-represented groups are especially encouraged.i
