MDRU accepts a limited number of graduate thesis-by-research MSc and PhD students each year to support our research projects. Student candidates are part of the Department of Earth, Ocean and Atmospheric Sciences. We preferentially accept those students who have a few years of experience in the minerals industry. These students tend to be more mature, aware of their strengths and weaknesses, and are comfortable working in the industry. Students with strong field or mapping, skills in petrography or with leadership and communications strengths are more highly considered. Those students with scholarship support or other funding are also more likely to be successful. We are also always on the look out for exceptional candidates for Post-Doctoral Fellowships.
If you are interested in graduate research opportunities with MDRU, contact our researchers directly regarding the specific project that interests you.
