According to the job posting, the successful candidate will serve as the lead provincial specialist for edible beans and edible oilseeds, including Identity Preserved (IP) soybeans, spring and winter canola, flaxseed, and sunflower. The role centres on technology transfer - developing and implementing strategies, policies, and programs - while coordinating projects that assess new and existing practices for their suitability under Ontario conditions. The specialist will also prepare and deliver educational tools, act as a liaison between the research community and industry, support policy and program development, and manage high-priority or contentious issues in the sector.
Step one, effective immediately, is to make roughly 400 carefully picked patents available online for a free two-year trial period. Specifically, any company that wants to try out one of the 400 technologies in its own research, development, and products can get what's called a Commercial Evaluation License (CEL) without the usual fee. Those 400 technologies- everything from a Navy-developed drone tracking system to novel Army mortar fuses - were chosen out of the thousands of possibilities by Michael's staff.
