Career Opportunities in Entomology in Canada
Employment Resources and Professions Available to Entomology Graduates
The opportunities for entomologists in Canada are limited, though entomology is essential in one way or another to many industries, including forestry, natural resource management and agriculture. Entomologists are employed by provincial and federal governments, by agribusiness, forestry and chemical firms, by universities and museums. Their work may focus on reducing the damage caused by insects in the environment, or on finding beneficial roles for insects to play in a given ecosystem. Still others may research insect behaviour or physiology, while others may broaden the understanding of insects through more accurate classification.Many entomologists go on to postgraduate work, specializing in a particular region or application of the science. For example, forensic entomologists – who study insects associated with corpses – are employed by coroner’s offices to help in determining key facts about human remains such as time of death. The Entomological Society of Canada has information on its site about preparing for a career in entomology: http://esc-sec.org/whatis.htm#d Natural Resources Canada, a major government employer of natural scientists, has a careers page here: http://www.nrcan.gc.ca/careers/eng/about-e.htm
