Graduate students in Geochemical CO2 Removal

We invite applications for master’s and Ph.D. graduate students in geochemical carbon dioxide removal in the Environmental Geochemistry Laboratory (PowerGeolab.com) at Trent University, Ontario, Canada. We are seeking candidates to conduct graduate-level laboratory and field studies relating to one or more core areas: (1) enhanced rock weathering, (2) CO2 mineralization within mine wastes, and (3) mineral oxide looping. The specifics of the student's research will depend on their expertise and interests yet will complement the ongoing research in the PowerGeolab. Students will become part of a dynamic research team led by Dr. Ian Power (Associate Professor and Canada Research Chair in Environmental Geoscience) with opportunities for inter-laboratory collaboration and exchanges. Our laboratory is hosted in the prestigious School of the Environment, a leader in Canada for environmental research and innovation, with unparalleled career and hands-on learning opportunities, world-class laboratories, and premiere campus nature areas. Please visit PowerGeolab.com for more information about our research, laboratory, and team.

Students will preferably hold an undergraduate degree in either geoscience, geography, environmental science, chemistry, or closely related field, and must meet the entry requirements for graduate research in Environmental & Life Sciences graduate program. The ideal candidate will have a high academic standing, some field and laboratory skills, excellent communication skills, strong work ethic, and a passion for science! Research experience at any level is highly advantageous.
