Clarity & trust
Questions before you begin.
Research discovery involves judgment and uncertainty. ZAVNIK is designed to make that process more informed—not to promise outcomes it cannot control.
Human scientific review
Every customer-facing report is reviewed for scientific substance.
Which scientific areas does ZAVNIK cover?
ZAVNIK indexes researchers across selected Canadian biology, biomedical and related research programmes, including molecular and cellular biology, ecology, evolution, plant and environmental biology, neuroscience, computational biology and selected bioengineering fields. Coverage varies by institution and discipline and is not exhaustive. See our Research Coverage section for the current index figures and searchable directory list.
What will I receive?
Each completed round produces an asynchronously prepared PDF report with research-program context, reasons for potential alignment, supporting evidence and personalized outreach guidance.
What does human review mean?
AI assists with analysis and discovery, while a human scientific reviewer evaluates the substantive report before delivery. Human review does not guarantee placement, supervision or a response.
Which CV formats are supported?
PDF and DOCX are supported. Your CV must permit reliable text extraction; image-only scans or heavily graphical layouts may require correction before analysis.
Can I return with an existing ZAVNIK code?
Yes. Eligible customers can use their code and purchase email to access remaining rounds without paying again.
Does ZAVNIK find verified openings?
No. ZAVNIK is a discovery and outreach-guidance service, not a job board or recruiter. Researcher inclusion does not mean a position is open or that supervision, funding or a reply is available.
