**Tier1 or Tier 2 Canada Rsearch Chair - Geoscience of Critical Minerals for Sustainable Future**:
**_ Geoscience of Critical Minerals for a Sustainable Future_**

Global transitions toward clean energy systems and advanced technologies are rapidly increasing demand for the critical minerals, necessitating secure, reliable, and ethical sources of critical minerals to advance economic, environmental, and social priorities and to help achieve sustainable development goals. Canada hosts an enormous variety of critical mineral deposits across its vast area, and twenty-three of Canada’s thirty-one **critical minerals** are found in Saskatchewan. Saskatoon is a major hub for the mining sector in Canada and is home to Canada’s first rare-earth-element processing facility and Canada’s only synchrotron facility. These and other factors make the University of Saskatchewan an ideal location for critical-minerals research.

The successful nominee will initiate and lead an innovative and impactful research program based in the **Department of Geological Sciences**. They will develop collaborations with private and public sector partners, enhance existing expertise on energy and mineral resources, and support knowledge mobilization within and beyond academia. This nominee will contribute to research and teaching in the Department of Geological Sciences and will help advance strategic priorities of the department, college, and university, including the University's “Energy and Mineral Resources for a Sustainable Future” signature area of research. They will benefit from new funding and partnership opportunities through the recently announced **Global Institute for Energy, Minerals, and Society**, which is a joint research and training initiative between the University of Saskatchewan, University of Regina, Saskatchewan Polytechnic, and the Government of Saskatchewan.

The Department of Geological Sciences is recognized internationally for research and training excellence. Our faculty, students, and staff explore physical, chemical, and biological processes that have shaped our planet over the last 4.6 billion years. Our research and training advances fundamental and applied geoscience knowledge within three themes: (i) Biological and Environmental Co-evolution of Earth; (ii) Dynamics of Earth System Processes in Modern and Deep Time; and (iii) Mineral and Energy Resources for a Sustainable Future. Collaboration with current department members represents an opportunity to harness collective expertise to pursue critical-minerals research.

**Qualifications**

Tier 1 Chairs are intended for outstanding and innovative world-class researchers whose accomplishments have had a major impact in their field and are recognized internationally as leaders in their field. Tier 2 Chairs are intended for exceptional emerging scholars who have less than 10 years of experience as an active researcher in their field at the time of nomination. Applicants who are more than 10 years from having earned their highest degree may have their eligibility for a Tier 2 Chair assessed through the program’s Tier 2 justification process.

The successful applicant will be appointed as a tenure-track faculty member at the Assistant or Associate Professor level (Tier 2), or as a tenured faculty member at the Associate Professor or Professor level (Tier 1). This applicant will be nominated for a Tier 1 or Tier 2 Canada Research Chair and their appointment will be in the College of Arts and Science.

A competitive salary commensurate with experience and appointment will be negotiated. A stipend with guaranteed funding for equipment, infrastructure, and training will be provided following a successful CRC nomination. This position also includes a comprehensive benefits package, which includes a dental, health and extended vision care plan; pension plan, life insurance (compulsory and voluntary), long-term disability, sick leave, travel insurance, death benefits, an employee assistance program, a professional expense allowance, and a flexible health and wellness spending program.

The University of Saskatchewan is one of Canada’s top 15 research-intensive universities. Its main campus is situated on Treaty 6 Territory and the Homeland of the Métis and in Saskatoon, a city on the banks of the South Saskatchewan River known for its quality of life, diverse and thriving economic base, vibrant arts community, full range of leisure opportunities, and relatively low cost of living among major Canadian cities.
