About SFU and the City of Vancouver:

Simon Fraser University (SFU) is consistently ranked among the top comprehensive universities in Canada. Located on the unceded and unsurrendered territories of the Coast Salish peoples, SFU offers classes on three urban campuses across greater Vancouver (Burnaby, Downtown Vancouver, and Surrey). By recognizing the Unceded Traditional Coast Salish territories, we aspire to create a space for reconciliation through dialogue and decolonizing practices. Vancouver is a scenic waterfront city located minutes from the mountains and a wide range of outdoor activities. It has a reputation as a clean, safe, multicultural and ethnically diverse city that is repeatedly ranked as one of the very top cities in the world in which to live and work.

Commitment to Equity, Diversity and Inclusion:

SFU is an institution whose strength is based on our shared commitments to diversity, equity, and inclusion. Diversity is an underlying principle of our Strategic Vision, which pledges SFU to “foster a culture of inclusion and mutual respect, celebrating the diversity reflected among its students, faculty, staff, and our community.” SFU is committed to ensuring that no individual is denied access to employment opportunities for reasons unrelated to ability or qualifications. Consistent with this principle, SFU will advance the interests of underrepresented members of the work force, specifically Indigenous peoples, persons with disabilities, racialized persons, and women; embrace gender and sexual diversity; ensure that equal opportunity is afforded to all who seek employment at the University; and treat all employees equitably.

The Department of Psychology at SFU has a positive, collegial atmosphere and is strongly supportive of faculty members’ diverse backgrounds, strengths, interests, and career progress. Our department is committed to ethical practice, equity, social justice and diversity. For example, our Indigenous Reconciliation Committee (IRC) aims to support respectful, equitable, and reciprocal relations between Indigenous Peoples and Settler (non-Indigenous) Peoples. Details about the IRC’s mission statement and accountability reports are available here. Looking forward, our department is committed to overcoming long-term systemic problems that have kept underrepresented scholars out of traditional academic positions.

How to Apply:

Application materials should be submitted electronically, via email to psyclec@sfu.ca, citing the candidate’s name in the subject line. Deadline for applications is August 15, 2022, but early applications are encouraged, and late applications may be considered.

Applications must include:

(a) a cover letter, addressed to Dr. Yuthika Girme, Chair, Lecturer Search Committee, Dept. of Psychology, SFU;
(b) a teaching statement and dossier of supporting materials, such as samples of course outlines, lecture materials, and teaching evaluations, as well as evidence of pedagogical approaches to make teaching inclusive;
(c) a one-page diversity and equity statement that identifies the applicant’s contributions or potential contributions to equity, decolonization, and/or anti-racism in institutional or community contexts;
(d) a curriculum vitae (please include a detailed section on previous teaching experience and make note of your citizenship/immigration status);
(e) a list of three referees’ names and contact information (phone and email).

A long-list of candidates will be invited to a 30-minute Zoom interview during which the candidates may be asked to give a short lesson (5-minute) and respond to a few questions. Short-listed candidates will then be contacted for more fulsome interviews. Please do not ask referees to send letters of reference; we will request reference letters be sent to us during the long-list interview stage.

All qualified candidates are encouraged to apply; however, Canadian citizens and permanent residents will be given priority. 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.
