Associate Membership Criteria
The EHSRC has initiated an Associate Membership to junior investigators whose area of research is especially relevant to the goals of the Iowa EHSRC. There is increasing recognition that many junior investigators could benefit from an official association with the Center and that the Center could in turn benefit by collaborating with these promising young researchers whose work is timely, novel, and has the potential to further the goals of the EHSRC team.
Criteria for Associate Membership include the following:
- Rank of Assistant Professor or the equivalent
- Evidence of research interest in the environmental health sciences as they apply to the health effects of exposures to the rural environment
- Potential for enhancing the research of the EHSRC
