The preference is for the position to be focused within the area of Surface Mining, in its broadest sense. This encompasses the entire surface mining life cycle including feasibility, design, planning, operations, environmental management, and closure issues. Qualified candidates with strengths in other areas will also be considered. The successful candidate must hold at least one degree in Mining Engineering, as well as a Ph.D. (or be close to completion of a Ph.D.) in an Engineering discipline. Registration as a Professional Engineer in Ontario, or eligibility to acquire registration in Canada, is essential, and relevant industrial experience is highly desirable. Outstanding candidates with an engineering research background are encouraged to apply.
We seek a dynamic individual who is highly motivated in furthering the state of the art in Mining Engineering, and will excel at both research and teaching. The successful candidate will develop a highly productive research program with strong industrial interactions, and will welcome collaboration with researchers in the Mining department as well as other related departments at Queen’s, nationally, and internationally. A strong commitment to undergraduate and graduate teaching and supervision is essential. Administrative contributions through service to the Department, Faculty and University and profession are expected.
Established in 1893, Queen’s Mining has grown to be one of the largest mining schools in the world. Its graduates occupy senior engineering, management, and executive positions throughout the global minerals industry. Further information on the Department is available at http://www.mine.queensu.ca/. The department has a long and firmly established track record of generating research outcomes that are relevant to industry as well as beneficial to society as a whole. One of the primary strengths of the department is the breadth of relevant expertise that its faculty members can bring to bear on a broad array of research challenges facing the mining and minerals industry, ranging from innovative mining technologies and methods through to techniques for mitigating mining related environmental impacts.
Applicants should send their curriculum vitae, the names and contact information of three referees, three recent publications, and separate statements on research objectives and teaching interests to:

Department of Chemical Engineering
Professor of Minerals Processing
The Department of Chemical Engineering, which enjoys an international reputation in teaching and research, invites applications from suitably qualified persons for the above post. The Chair is an endowed position in the field of minerals processing and is sponsored by Anglo American Platinum Limited.
The Department is actively committed to teaching and research. Research is carried out in the areas of bioprocess engineering, catalysis and catalytic processing, engineering education, environmental systems and process systems engineering, minerals processing, precipitation and crystallisation. The Department enjoys strong, global industrial support for its teaching and research programmes, and maintains close links with the South African chemical, petrochemical, biotechnology and mining industries.
The successful applicant may also be required to assume the position of Director of the Centre for Minerals Processing, which is based in the Department. The Centre enjoys close links with many other researchers and research groups both within the University as well as with other universities, research organisations and mining companies worldwide. Further information on the activities of the Centre can be found atwww.cmr.uct.ac.za
The Department of Chemical Engineering also has strong research activities in areas cognate to the discipline of minerals processing such as bio- and hydrometallurgy, precipitation and crystallisation, environmental process engineering and also hosts one of the University’s signature themes, viz. Minerals to Metals (www.mineralstometals.uct.ac.za). The Centre traditionally has had very close links with the South African mining industry and the incumbent will be expected to foster and develop these as well as existing and prospective linkages with leading universities and research institutions worldwide in the area of minerals processing.
The incumbent will have a strong research record in the area of minerals processing and it will be an added advantage if this is in the area of flotation or comminution. S/he will be expected to provide outstanding leadership in research and education and in industry collaboration so as to ensure the continued growth of the Centre.
