Metal Earth Graduate Student Research Opportunities, May 2017
With CAD $104 million in funding provided by the Canada First Research
Excellence Fund and through strategic partnerships with 5 Canadian
universities, 6 government geological surveys and 3 international
research centres, Laurentian University will conduct Metal Earth - the
largest ever mineral exploration research project undertaken in Canada.
Metal Earth seeks to identify and understand the processes responsible
for Earth*s differential metal endowment during the Precambrian. This
research initiative aims to transform our understanding of Earth*s early
evolution and how we explore for metals.
Metal Earth is led by the Mineral Exploration Research Centre (MERC),
of the Harquail School of Earth Sciences (HSES), which is housed in the
Willet Green Miller Centre at Sudbury, Canada. MERC is a semi-autonomous
research centre at Laurentian, and comprises an
internationally-recognized group of researchers from HSES, academia,
industry and government.
Metal Earth MSc Graduate Opportunities
Metal Earth is seeking 11 MSc students to conduct mapping-based and
geophysical research in the Abitibi Subprovince of Ontario and Quebec.
As part of an integrated geological -geophysical team, fieldwork will
involve detailed geological and geophysical (gravity) mapping of
transects that cross precious and base metal endowed and less endowed
ancestral faults and volcanic centres. Individual research problems will
develop from the transect mapping and will be addressed through
integrated field mapping, geochemical, isotopic and geophysical
research. Each MSc project is fully funded for two years ($25K/yr which
includes a Laurentian Graduate Assistantship). Mapping experience is an
asset.
Metal Earth PhD Graduate Opportunities
Metal Earth is seeking 2 PhD students to conduct mapping-based research
in Rouyn-Noranda Volcanic Complex and Larder Lake area of the Abitibi
Subprovince of Quebec and Ontario. Field work will be conducted as part
of an integrated geological-geophysical team that is undertaking
transect mapping through precious and base metal endowed and less
endowed ancestral faults and volcanic centres of the Abitibi. At
Rouyn-Noranda the research will establish the stratigraphic and
structural architecture of the Horne-Quemont area, and the timing and
relationship between spatially associated orogenic gold and VMS ore
systems. At Larder Lake, the research will study the stratigraphic and
structural evolution of the Cadillac-Larder Lake Deformation Zone and
surrounding rocks and implications to gold mineralization. The research
projects are fully funded for four years ($30K/yr which includes a
Laurentian Graduate Assistantship). Mapping experience, particularly in
structural geology, is an asset.
To apply, please forward your application and cover letter to Chantal
Duval (cduval en laurentian.ca). The application should include: a CV
including a list of publications, transcripts, contact details, and the
names of three referees. The deadline for applications is January 31st
2017, but applications will be accepted until all positions have been
filled.
Laurentian University is a bilingual (French-English), tri-cultural
institution. Laurentian University especially welcomes and encourages
applications from members of visible minorities, women, Aboriginal
persons, members of sexual minorities and persons with disabilities.
Applicants may self-identify as a member of an employment equity group.
All qualified candidates are encouraged to apply. However, Canadians and
permanent residents will be considered first for these positions.
