The Department of Earth Sciences at Carleton University invites applications from qualified candidates for a preliminary (tenure-track) appointment in Structural Geology and Critical Minerals Resources at the rank of Assistant Professor beginning on or soon after January 1st, 2025.
The Department seeks candidates capable of conducting cutting edge research in the application of Structural Geology and Tectonics to Critical Minerals Resource Geology. The search for critical minerals in North America relies on understanding the dynamic processes within the Earth’s crust governing the sources, transport pathways, timing, and depositional systems. These processes collectively create the optimal conditions for mineral and energy resource formation. The successful candidate should demonstrate an ability to attract industry or public sector funding to support post-graduate student research pursuant to Canada’s Critical Minerals Strategy ().
