Postdoctoral Fellowships on Ore Body Knowledge


Mining operations are becoming more technically complex as mineral reserves that are relatively easy to bring to production are significantly depleted.

This is resulting in greater financial and economic risks that make it harder for miners to attract capital and obtain government permits, posing a significant threat to the industry's growth in Canada and the ability of the mining industry to deliver critical minerals such as copper and nickel needed for the low-carbon energy transition.


The MDRU-Mineral Deposit Research Unit and BRIMM (Bradshaw Research Institute for Minerals and Mining) at the University of British Columbia in Vancouver, are looking for two postdoctoral research fellows (who have completed their PhD within the last 5 years at the time of appointment) to work on a newly funded 2-year NSERC Alliance funded postdoctoral research project (with possibility for extension).

The project is supported by Ideon Technologies and Imdex Limited.

This project seeks to develop a quantitative understanding of the value of ore body knowledge in mineral exploration and mining.


The successful applicants will be supervised by MDRU Director Shaun Barker, and BRIMM Director John Steen, and will work within a larger research team, including several MSc students and faculty members.

There are also opportunities to interact with a variety of faculty in the Departments of Earth, Ocean and Atmospheric Sciences and Mining Engineering at UBC, therefore, a willingness to collaborate and mentor graduate students is advantageous.

We highly value the following skills and knowledge for these positions:
Interest and/or expertise in economic geology, mineral resources and mineral economics
Strong quantitative skills, particularly in geostatistics, resource estimation or geophysics
Machine learning and artificial intelligence particularly natural language processing
Experience with databases and data wrangling


The salary range for these positions located in the Department of Earth, Ocean and Atmospheric Sciences is expected to be $72,000 to $85,000 per annum.
