and Research Assistant Professor.



As Institute Radiation Safety Officer, the selected individual will be

responsible for carrying out the policies and recommendations of the

Institute Radiation Safety Committee and Nuclear Safety Review Board.  This

Strategic Plan for the future, we are enhancing our activities in

biomedical applications of radiation, and we view the filling of this

position with an outstanding individual as an important step toward our

goals.  For more information about our Department, consult our web page:
