Work environment:

At Natural Resources Canada, a federal government job means developing leadership skills, fostering teamwork, and supporting creativity and innovation. Canada's governments depend on geoscience to inform policy, manage the country's landmass and develop its natural resources responsibly. The Geological Survey of Canada (GSC) is the national organization for geoscientific information and research.

Since 1842 the Geological Survey of Canada has produced cutting-edge, authoritative geoscience to support mineral exploration, climate change research, marine and coastal resilience, and natural hazards mapping.

Our work supports decision-making in the mining and energy sectors, as well as national sovereignty, hazards risk management and more.

The GSC is proud to create a workplace that supports an accessible, equitable, inclusive, and diverse workforce at the ready to tackle current and future science challenges.

The GSC provides a stimulating work environment with a passionate team and promotes work-life balance.

The Critical Minerals Geoscience and Data program at the Geological Survey of Canada conducts research aligned with the departmental priorities of Natural Resources Canada.

Physical scientists work with geoscience information and other relevant data to support critical minerals research activities, data analytics, data management and prepare datasets and reports for dissemination.

Project results are communicated to the department, other agencies, and the public through reports, publications, and datasets/maps.
