These will include existing courses in basic mineralogy and ore petrology, as well as possibly new courses in the candidate’s area of expertise. An ability and willingness to teach courses outside of the main area of interest will be considered an asset. The successful candidate will also be expected to supervise undergraduate and graduate student thesis research as well as participate in our fourth-year undergraduate field school. The successful candidate is expected to conduct an active research program and to seek external financial support for this research from both government agencies and the private sector. Mineral exploration and mining activities are key economic drivers in the region, and ample opportunities for collaborative or contract research exist. Instrumentation available for the successful candidate’s use includes new ICP-MS and high resolution FESEM-EDX systems, as well as XRD, ICP-AES, a fluid inclusion stage with IR, several spectroscopy systems, state of the art microscopes with digital imagers, and assorted other instrumentation. </span><o:p></o:p></p><p class=MsoNormal> <o:p></o:p></p><p class=MsoNormal><span style='font-family:"Arial","sans-serif";color:black'>Lakehead University is in the process of developing a Centre of Mineral Exploration and Sustainable Mining Development.
