Head of Biological Survey to retire

Hugh Danks, the Head of the Biological Survey of Canada (Terrestrial Arthropods) has announced his plans to retire at the end of August 2007. Hugh was hired on a contract in 1977 as the scientist-in-charge of the Biological Survey Project of the Entomological Society of Canada. In 1980, the Canadian Museum of Nature (then the National Museum of Natural Sciences) became a co-sponsor of the Survey and in 1982 Hugh was hired as the Head of the Survey, a position he holds to this day.

Because the CMN is undergoing strategic planning in 2007-2008, this position will be filled on a temporary (one-year) basis. For further information on this competition please contact the Secretariat or check the BSC website (http://www.biology.ualberta.ca/bsc/bschome.htm) or the Job Opportunities of the CMN web site.
