Project and job offers

This PhD position, which will be held at Université du Québec à Montréal (UQAM), is part of a larger project aiming to develop mineral chemistry of sulfides as a tool to optimize mineral deposit models, and exploration vectoring from deposit- to belt-scale in the James Bay area of Northern Québec. The Troilus site was selected as it is one of the most advanced mining projects in the area, it is known to host several types and styles of mineralization, and a wealth of drill core data is already available.

As part of the multidisciplinary ArcticNet project "Qajartalik: Cultural Legacy and Environmental Change in Coastal Nunavik", we are seeking a highly motivated MSc or PhD student to investigate long-term climate and vegetation changes in coastal Nunavik.

As part of the ArcticNet multidisciplinary project entitled « Qajartalik: cultural legacy and environmental change in coastal Nunavik », we are seeking an MSc or PhD student to explore the dynamics of the sea-ice cover in the Hudson Strait area. The project will combine direct and satellite observations, data compilation, analysis and modelling, with a focus on freeze-up and break-up dates.

The U. Laval (Québec City)-UQAM (Montréal) joint project has two main objectives. The first is to characterize the fluid evolution along the porphyry and skarn mineralizations with a focus on the precipitation mechanisms of critical and precious metals (In, Te, Bi, Ag and Mo). The second one is to characterize (petrography, SWIR, chemistry) the alteration haloes with a focus on the distal footprints in the sediments.
