Metal Earth Graduate Student Research Opportunities, May 2018
Laurentian University, Canada
With CAD $104 million in funding provided by the Canada First Research Excellence Fund (CFREF)
and through strategic partnerships with 5 Canadian universities, 6 government geological surveys and
3 international research centres, Laurentian University has initiated 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), which is housed in the Willet
Green Miller Centre at Sudbury. MERC is a semi-autonomous research centre at Laurentian
established in 1997 and comprises an internationally-recognized group of researchers from HSES,
academia, industry and government.
Metal Earth MSc Graduate Opportunities
Metal Earth is seeking 4 MSc students to conduct mapping-based research in the Abitibi and Wabigoon
subprovinces of Ontario and Quebec. As part of an integrated geological -geophysical team fieldwork
will involve detailed geological 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 and isotopic
research. Each MSC project is fully funded for two years ($30K/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 the eastern Wabigoon
subprovince and the Ben Nevis area of the Abitibi Subprovince in 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
and Wabigoon. The research will establish the stratigraphic and structural architecture of volcanic
centres in the Ben Nevis area and eastern Wabigoon and the geological controls on associated VMS
ore systems. The research projects are fully funded for four years ($30K/yr which includes a Laurentian
Graduate Assistantship). Mapping experience, particularly in volcanology and structural geology, is an
asset.
To apply, please forward your application and cover letter to Christine Rodrigue at
CRodrigue1@laurentian.ca. The application should include: a CV including a list of publications,
academic transcripts, contact details and the names of three referees. Review of applications will begin
immediately, but applications will be accepted until December 31
th
2017.
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.

Metal Earth PDF/Research Associate Positions, April 2018
Laurentian University is a recognized leader in mineral exploration research and is among the top Canadian
universities in research funding for Economic Geology and in Applied Geophysics from the Natural Sciences
and Engineering Research Council (NSERC).
With CAD $104 million in funding provided by the Canada First Research Excellence Fund (CFREF) and
through strategic partnerships with 5 Canadian universities, 6 government geological surveys and 3
international research centres, Laurentian University has initiated 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), which is housed in the Willet Green
Miller Centre at Sudbury. MERC is a semi-autonomous research centre at Laurentian established in 1997
and comprises an internationally-recognized group of researchers from HSES, academia, industry and
government.
MERC is seeking individuals with demonstrated excellence in research and is inviting applications for three
Post Doctoral Fellowships (PDF)/Research Associates (RA) beginning in April 2018; salary range is $65-$80k/yr plus benefits. The positions are contingent upon funding.
The PDF/RAs will supervise and conduct mapping-based research in the Abitibi and Wabigoon
subprovinces of Ontario. As part of an integrated geological-geophysical team, fieldwork will involve detailed
geological mapping of transects that cross precious and base metal endowed and less endowed ancestral
faults and volcanic centres within the Abitibi and Wabigoon, and the supervision of MSc and BSc students.
Research will establish the stratigraphic and structural architecture of each transect, and the timing and
relationship(?) between base and precious metal systems. Research problems will be addressed through
integrated mapping, geochemical and stable/radiogenic isotopic research, and integration of the results with
ongoing geophysical interpretations. The positions are funded for two years. Mapping experience in
greenstone belts with expertise in volcanology, geochemistry and structural geology, and good
communication skills and supervisory experience, are assets.

We at Tallinn University of Technology (TalTech) Department of Geology, Mining Division are pleased to announce the posting of two new positions focusing on Raw Materials in the Circular Economy. We are offering both a fully funded PhD position as well as a funded two-year Post Doctoral Fellow position to carry research in the area of raw materials (i.e. primary and secondary) in a circular economy. Topics such as the technical aspects of raw materials production, refining and recovery stand equally beside topics considering social license, land planning, operating according to multilateral accords and even planetary boundaries.

We are looking for enthusiastic candidates that share our optimism, and desire to find solutions to issues and concerns that reside at the intersection of raw materials supply, society’s requirements and needs for development and environmental stewardship.

The potential PhD candidate should posses the following:
- A recognized Master’s level degree in a Natural Science or Engineering from a notable institution;
- The ability to communicate in English (written and oral);
- Willingness to travel; and
- High motivation and willingness to work in an international and interdisciplinary team.
The potential Post-doctoral Fellow should have additionally:
- Ph.D. or similar experience in the area of sustainability, social license, mineral economics or mining engineering from a recognized university;
- Experience in quantitative and qualitative research methods; and
- Knowledge of the European Raw Materials sector from the perspective of industry, civil society, affected communities and governance bodies.

If you, or you know of anybody that may be interested, please contact me or professor Michael Hitch at michael.hitch@taltech.ee
