Equity, Diversity and Inclusion

• For the Rio Tinto Research Chair program of research, we offer training experiences to individuals from all segments of society, striving for gender equity and inclusivity including top students from Canada and abroad. We strongly encourage women in science, technology, engineering, the arts and mathematics (STEAM), aboriginal peoples, persons with disabilities, members of visible minorities, the LGBTQ2S+ community, plus other underrepresented and disadvantaged groups to join the team. Indeed, we remain fully committed to ensuring an equitable, inclusive, respectful and supportive work environment.
