The Department of Environmental and Radiological Health Sciences at Colorado State University (CSU) is searching for a faculty member to be part of the nationally recognized and ABET accredited program in Industrial Hygiene (IH). The IH Program is part of the National Institute for Occupational Safety and Health (NIOSH) funded Mountain and Plains Education and Research Center with programs also in Occupational Ergonomics and Safety, Health Physics, Occupational Health Psychology, and Occupational Medicine. There are also opportunities for collaboration with faculty in the Epidemiology, Toxicology, and Environmental Public Health programs as well as the Colorado School of Public Health. Other opportunities with this position include involvement in the NIOSH-funded High Plains Intermountain Center for Agricultural Health and Safety (HICAHS) at CSU. Candidates whose research involves occupational exposure assessment and control (e.g., aerosols, ventilation, nanotechnology, noise, non-ionizing radiation) as well as other occupational health and safety topics are encouraged to apply.

Responsibilities include teaching, research and service. Teach and mentor students in our graduate and undergraduate programs in occupational and environmental health with a focus in IH and safety issues. Provide curricular guidance to students, supervise student research, and coordinate with other faculty in successful completion of student theses, dissertations, and research publications. Develop and conduct an independently funded research program in your area of expertise. Serve on committees within and external to the University.

The Department has a strong tradition in occupational and environmental health, epidemiology, occupational safety and ergonomics, toxicology and health physics.
