Associate Membership Criteria
The EHSRC has an Associate Membership status offered to early-stage investigators with faculty appointments at U.I. or ISU whose area of research is relevant to the goals of the EHSRC. This membership category arose from the 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 research milieu of the EHSRC.
Criteria for Associate Membership include the following:
- Rank of Assistant Professor or the equivalent
- Evidence of research interest in the environmental health sciences as applicable to the EHSRC focus
- Potential for enhancing the research of the EHSRC
