Career
Mustard was initially fascinated with the work of marine biologists such as Jacques Cousteau, but he chose to study in earth sciences.{{Cite web |last=Do |first=Liz |date=June 30, 2022 |title=Believe the Impossible: The Future of… Mars Exploration |url=https://cifar.ca/cifarnews/2022/06/30/believe-in-the-impossible-the-future-of-mars-exploration/ |access-date=July 13, 2022 |website=CIFAR}} He earned his B.Sc. in geology from the University of British Columbia in 1983, and continued his studies in the Department of Geological Sciences at Brown University obtaining an M.Sc. in 1986 and a Ph.D. in 1990. Shortly thereafter he became an assistant professor of research until joining regular faculty.{{Cite web |title=John Mustard |url=https://cifar.ca/bios/john-mustard/ |access-date=July 13, 2022 |website=CIFAR}}{{primary source inline|date=January 2022}}
He was a founding member of the Environmental Change Initiative at Brown University in 2000, that has since become the Institute at Brown for Environment and Society (IBES). He has served on a number of departmental administrative, strategic and search committees and among his university service he has served on the Provost Search Committee (2014) and Academic Priorities Committee (2013-2019). He has served on NASA and National Academy of Sciences committees, most recently as a member of the Space Studies Board and as a member of the Mars Architecture Strategy Working group 2019-2020.{{Cite journal |title=Mars, The Nearest Habitable World — A Comprehensive Program For Future Mars Exploration |url=https://baas.aas.org/pub/2021n4i029/release/1 |access-date=July 13, 2022 |journal=Bulletin of the AAS|year=2021 |doi=10.3847/25c2cfeb.e5222017 |last1=Jakosky |first1=Bruce |last2=Byrne |first2=Shane |last3=Calvin |first3=Wendy |last4=Curry |first4=Shannon |last5=Ehlmann |first5=Bethany |last6=Eigenbrode |first6=Jen |last7=Hoehler |first7=Tori |last8=Horgan |first8=Briony |last9=Hubbard |first9=Scott |last10=McCollom |first10=Tom |last11=Mustard |first11=John |last12=Putzig |first12=Than |last13=Rucker |first13=Michelle |last14=Wolff |first14=Michael |last15=Wordsworth |first15=Robin |last16=Meyer |first16=Michael |last17=Zurek |first17=Rich |volume=53 |issue=4 |page=029 |bibcode=2021BAAS...53d.029J |s2cid=236767045 |doi-access=free }} He is currently Co-Director along with Barbara Sherwood Lollar (University of Toronto) of the Earth 4D program of the Canadian Institute for Advanced Research (CIFAR) and the Deputy Principal Investigator of the Compact Reconnaissance Imaging Spectrometer for Mars (CRISM) on the NASA Mars Reconnaissance Orbiter {{cite web | url=https://cifar.ca/research-programs/earth-4d/ | title=Earth 4D: Subsurface Science & Exploration }}
