Standing Committee vacancy

4 January 2011

We are currently recruiting for a member of the Research Committee - a key role in helping to create IOSH’s vision of a world of work that is safe, healthy and sustainable.

The Research Committee is looking for a chartered member with experience of evaluating research proposals, commissioning research projects, or undertaking academic or professional research in occupational safety and health.

The Committee encourages bids for research or development funding, reviews submissions, and recommends appropriate financial awards to the Board of Trustees. It also makes sure that bids are supportive of IOSH's corporate strategy and that completed projects promote shared knowledge of findings.

Members need to attend approximately two committee meetings a year and must also have time to read and prepare documents for each meeting.

While voluntary, reasonable expenses are paid for the post.

The application closing date is 17 March.

Interviews will be held by the Nominations Committee on 7 April at The Grange. For those unable to attend due to exceptional circumstances, a further provisional date has been agreed for 10 May.
