Congratulations to Dr. Richard Isnor (’89), appointed the new NSERC-Atlantic Manager.
Richard started at NSERC-Atlantic’s office, based in Moncton, NB effective April 7th, 2008.
Dr. Isnor was most recently Director of Innovation Policy and Science at the International Development Research Centre in Ottawa.
He holds a Ph.D. in Science and Technology Policy Studies from the University of Sussex, UK; a Master’s in Environmental Studies from Dalhousie University, Canada; and a B. Sc. in Biochemistry from Mount Allison University.
He has also held science and technology policy and management positions in a variety of federal government organizations, including the National Research Council of Canada, Environment Canada, Natural Resources Canada and the Privy Council Office.
Although he was born in Halifax, Richard grew up in Truro, Nova Scotia and is an avid triathlete.
While he has worked outside Atlantic Canada for the past thirteen years, the pull to come back to the Atlantic region has been growing over the past number of years.
NSERC is Canada’s primary agency supporting research in the natural sciences and engineering. NSERC’s goal is to help make Canada a country of discoverers and innovators for the benefit of all Canadians.
