What happened

Nunavut Marine Innovation and Research, through Qikiqtaaluk Corporation’s careers listing, is accepting resumes from Inuit for its Inuit Employee in Training program. The posting says participants would receive paid hands-on work experience, mentorship from crew members and industry-recognized credentials while working aboard the RV Moses Appaqaq and RV Ludy Pudluk.

The listed positions are captain, engineer, mate, specialized deckhand-cook, specialized deckhand-equipment operator and specialized deckhand-field coordinator. Applicants are directed to contact Sylvia Kaluk at Qikiqtaaluk Corporation. The posting is dated March 29, 2026, but remains listed among the corporation’s current job postings as of September 1.

Why it matters

This is a live, Inuit-only employment and training opportunity connected to marine research and operations. It offers a pathway into vessel-based work rather than a single conventional job opening, although the public notice does not state pay rates, required qualifications, work rotations, location of embarkation or how many trainees will be selected.

What happens next

Interested Inuit applicants can submit a resume or request details through the contact named in the posting. Because no deadline is published, applicants should confirm whether recruitment remains open and ask for the full position requirements before applying.

Important details

Eligibility is limited to Inuit. The notice lists six job types but does not say how many openings exist in each role. A linked job-description PDF could not be retrieved: it returned a 404 error on September 1. The webpage also has inconsistent vessel spelling: its title uses “Ludy Pudluk,” while the URL uses “Lucy Pudluk.”
