FORCE – the Fundy Ocean Research Centre for Energy, is at the forefront of an exciting new chapter in Canada’s clean energy transition. With a world-leading tidal technology on the horizon, new actions from the federal Task Force for Sustainable Tidal Energy, and upcoming opportunities for new projects at our test site, this is a pivotal moment to join our team in advancing Marine Renewable Energy (MRE).
As Canada’s lead research facility for tidal stream technology, FORCE is dedicated to understanding how this renewable resource can play a role in our energy future. Located in the Minas Passage of the Bay of Fundy—home to the world’s highest tides—our test site provides essential offshore and onshore electrical infrastructure to connect devices to the power grid and our team works with partners from across the region and around the world to conduct innovative applied research and monitoring in relation to potential environmental effects.
The Marine Optical and Acoustic Sensing Lead plays a critical role in FORCE’s research efforts under the Ocean Sensors Innovation Platform (OSIP) project. This position is responsible for designing, executing, and refining scientifically rigorous monitoring programs focused on improving our understanding of potential fish-turbine interactions in the dynamic environment of the Bay of Fundy, Canada.
As a key contributor to the OSIP project, the Marine Optical and Acoustic Sensing Lead will focus on the adoption and integration of advanced optical and acoustic sensing technologies, implementation of robust experimental and statistical methodologies, and lead data analysis and reporting on sensor and sensor system performance.
