At this time, it is a contract position but if we are successful in our application to AAFC to deliver the Living Lab in BC, it will a permanent role.  I would very much appreciate it if you could circulate this amongst any students you think might be a good fit and are finishing their degrees.  They can send their applications to info@iafbc.ca.

 

Thank you in advance for you help.

 

Kind regards,

Michelle Koski <mkoski@iafbc.ca>

I have a job to post that would be of interest to students and alumni. I’ve signed up for UBC Careers Online but are there other options for circulating postings within the faculty?

Thanks!

UBC’S FIRST CLIMATE-FRIENDLY FOOD SYSTEM LABEL 

The soft launch of UBC’s first Climate-Friendly Food Label took place this summer in partnership with UBC Food Services, the SEEDS Sustainability Program, Institute for Resources, Environment and Sustainability, Department of Psychology and Faculty of Science – and we want to hear your feedback!

Please take 5 minutes to complete this survey about UBC’s first Climate-Friendly Food Label: https://ubc.ca1.qualtrics.com/jfe/form/SV_6K9Ap1mvWlvIobs

You will be asked to play a virtual food purchasing game and answer some questions. At the end of the survey, you can enter your email for a prize draw for a $50 UBC gift card. Your data will only be used for research purposes and your identity will be kept strictly confidential.

The Climate-Friendly Food Label is part of the emerging UBC Climate Action Plan 2030, which will position UBC as a model of how universities can mobilize to address the climate emergency and targets in the Paris Agreement through bold, impactful actions to accelerate and deepen reductions across operations, and expanded action on reducing indirect emissions from commuting, air travel, food, and waste.

Thanks for your time and feedback!
