**Duties**:
Within the framework of the Critical Mineral Geoscience & Data program (CMGD) of the Geological Survey of Canada, the research project of the doctoral thesis will examine the timing of Nb and REE mineralization in carbonatites via direct dating of the mineralizing events and of the host carbonatites. Specific dateable ore minerals of interest include bastnaesite, monazite, apatite, pyrochlore and baddelyite. Tracer isotopic studies (Sr, Nd, Hf, Pb) on these and other minerals combined with stable isotopic studies (bastnaesite, calcite, dolomite) will be utilized to understand the potential effects of crustal contamination and meteoric fluids with respect to mineralization. The main objective of the project is to acquire in-depth geoscientific knowledge on the geological, mineralogical and metallogenic aspects of critical minerals in Canadian carbonatites to improve geological and exploration models for this deposit type. The project will use modern geochemical and petrographic techniques coupled with state-of-the-art analytical methods (e.g., SEM, EMPA, LA-ICP-MS, TIMS, MC-ICP-MS) on samples from fieldwork (outcrop and drill core) and archival samples.

**Work environment**:
At Natural Resources Canada, a Federal government job means developing leadership skills, fostering teamwork, and supporting creativity and innovation. Canada’s governments depend on geoscience to inform policy, manage the country's landmass and develop its natural resources responsibly. The Geological Survey of Canada (GSC) is the national organization for geoscientific information and research. Since 1842 the Geological Survey of Canada has produced cutting-edge, authoritative geoscience to support mineral exploration, climate change research, marine and coastal resilience, and natural hazards mapping. Our work supports decision-making in the mining and energy sectors, as well as national sovereignty, hazards risk management and more. The GSC is proud to create a workplace that supports an accessible, equitable, inclusive, and diverse workforce at the ready to tackle current and future science challenges. The GSC provides a stimulating work environment with a passionate team and promotes work
- life balance.

**Intent of the process**:
The intention is to staff one student position for the completion of a PhD degree supervised by Dr. B.A. Kjarsgaard at Geological Survey of Canada and Professor D.G. Pearson at University of Alberta.
