SFSU CHO/Academic-Research Safety position.

San Francisco State University (SFSU) is actively recruiting for a strong candidate as our "Academic & Research Safety Manager and Chemical Hygiene Officer". Note: Although the online job-announcement still lists $100-110K as the anticipated hiring range - the University will consider expanding it "up to" as much as $120K+ based on relevant experience, especially where a candidate's background includes an extensive "academic/university" EHS history. SFSU also offers a robust benefits package.

Familiarity with university biosafety, radiation safety, and of course chemical safety programs is a given. Our ultimate goal is to build a model program which promotes an active and growing "Safety-Culture" at our institution. We want to help our customers ‰??Make Safety Happen‰??.

If you are the ideal candidate and would be comfortable communicating and working with faculty and senior academic leadership "please visit" our SFSU job listings page and post your application as soon as possible. We look forward to adding your name to our growing EHS department and having you as a valued colleague.

Contact Marc Majewski (SFSU EHS-Director, majewski**At_Symbol_Here**sfsu.edu) or John Palmer (Interim SFSU-CHO, jgpalmer**At_Symbol_Here**sfsu.edu) with questions.
