*** SFU is facing severe network issues which is impacting our CourSys platform on which we collect our applications on. As of now, there is no clear date as to when this will be resolved. We recommend all applicants save their application responses in a separate document before applying to a posting in the event that the application portal experiences network issues.


There are two potential workarounds for the network instability:

  • If you are an SFU student, you can typically access CourSys if you are on campus using the school’s network. For off-site connection, you may alternatively use the SFU FortiClient VPN to connect.

  • If you would like to work on the application offline, please email us at “sciencealive@sfu.ca” and a PDF copy can be sent so that you may work on the application locally until you are able to access the form.

SFU is an equity employer and strongly encourages applications from all qualified individuals including women, Indigenous Peoples, visible minorities, people of all sexual orientations and gender identities, persons with disabilities, and others who may contribute to the further diversification of the university. 

We are committed to ensuring that the application and interview process is accessible to all applicants. If you require any assistance or accommodations, please contact the staff member indicated in the job postings below.
