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.
