Graduate Students
We are building an interdisciplinary team of engineers and scientists to develop scientific tools that will be used to understand various options in urban clean and sustainable transportation for people, freight, and recreation. Principles of equity, diversity, and inclusion (EDI) are vigorously applied in the hiring process and during each HQP's tenure. We are committed to EDI principles. We acknowledge that SFU’s three campuses are on unceded and traditional lands of the Tsleil-Waututh (səl̓ilw̓ətaʔɬ), Kwikwetlem (kʷikʷəƛ̓əm), Squamish (Sḵwx̱wú7mesh Úxwumixw), Musqueam (xʷməθkʷəy̓əm), Katzie (q̓icə̓y̓), Semiahmoo, Kwantlen, Qatqayt, Tsawwassen, and Stó:lō First Nations.
There are always opportunities in post-doc, Ph.D., MASc, undergraduate, work-study, internship, and visiting researcher positions available at CREATE. We maintain a potential list of candidates with relevant experiences and backgrounds within our strategic approach to EDI.
How to apply?
If you are interested in joining CREATE, follow these steps.
1. Read the research description carefully and study relevant publications.
2. Check the SFU admission requirements and make sure you meet the minimum requirements on GPA and English proficiency.
3. Check the admission timetable for your preferred start date.
4. If there is an area of interest and you meet the minimum admission requirement, send a brief email to me (v_hosseini@sfu.ca) and attach your academic CV. Identify yourself as a member of underrepresented groups if you like to do so. Make sure to provide names of previous institutions (BSc and MSc), GPA and English scores in the text.
5. I read all emails, but I will not respond to all due to the large volume. I only contact short-listed candidates. Please avoid sending reminders.
