The NRES Institute recognizes two types of members: regular members and associate members.  ‘Regular’ memberships will normally be granted to UNBC-based researchers who hold more than a 3-year term appointment; ‘Associate’ memberships are normally for 3-year renewable terms and are available to Adjunct Professors, visiting researchers, and other researchers whose primary affiliation is with another university, government agency, industry, or other body.  Post-doctoral fellows who are working with researchers at UNBC are eligible for Associate membership.  Applications for membership will be evaluated by the Institute’s Steering Committee.  To apply for membership, applicants should submit: (1) a short one-page letter outlining why they wish to join the Institute and how they plan to contribute to the stated goals and activities of the NRES Institute; and (2) a CV outlining research interests and record of recent publications and/or accomplishments.
