2011Scholarship for PhD Student in Ore Geology at Lulea University of Technology, Sweden

Study Subject:Ore Geology
Employer: Lulea University of Technology
Level:PhD
Scholarship Description:CAMM – Centre of Advanced Mining and Metallurgy (www.camm.se) is a recently established centre of excellence, based on strategic funds from the Swedish government within the strategic area Sustainable use of natural resources: mining and minerals at Luleå University of Technology. One of the CAMM work packages is dedicated to the emerging field of geometallurgy that brings together geological sciences, mineral processing and metallurgy in order to characterize physical and chemical properties of rocks and ore from the in situ ore stage through the extraction and beneficiation stages to the final product. The aim is to optimize processes, minimize waste and reduce costs in the mine to mill operation.

We are looking for a PhD student in Ore Geology with focus on ore characterization. The PhD-project will comprise petrology and mineralogy in a detailed deposit study in the Skellefte VMS District. The character of the ore will be documented in terms of metal content, mineral associations, metal distribution etc, using geometallurgical and mineralogical techniques (e.g. hypespectral methods, XRD, SEM-WDS, Laser Ablation ICPMS). Results will have to be prepared for use within the larger framework of geometallurgical modelling to provide a base for predicting mineral process performance and mine planning considering the geological variability of the ore. The project is part of the geometallurgy work package of CAMM. Fieldwork and drillcore logging in the deposit area will be an important part of the study and therefore experience from drillcore- and bedrock mapping is a merit.

Scholarship Application Deadline:March 15, 2011.
