1 Careers in Indoor Environmental Science & Engineering: For CE397: Indoor Environmental Technical Exchange Richard L. Corsi & Glenn Morrison

2 Some General Thoughts Immature field relative to other environmental fields Limited regulatory drivers Still in need of a great deal of research Tremendous opportunity to make a real difference Opportunities for entrepreneurs Significant international opportunities U.S. industry often ahead of government # jobs > # of qualified applicants

3 Employment Sectors Academia Government research laboratories Government agencies Consulting / commercial laboratories Industrial/ manufacturing R&D Not-for-profit Dedicated experts vs. “Dabblers”* * “Dabblers” is not derogatory

4 Academia AEESP: Atmospheric Chemistry & Air Quality 60 list as major area of interest 12 list indoor air quality (2 retired + 1 dabbler) 9 AEESP members as IAQ faculty More that are not AEESP (especially health crowd) Morrison / Corsi brainstorm 31 faculty members (guess = captured > 70%)

5 Academia

6 UC Berkeley: Hammond, Nazaroff, Smith …… U Texas: Corsi, Novoselac, Siegel, …. EOHSI: Fan, Lioy, Weschler, Zhang, …. Harvard: Spengler & company Syracuse: Kahlifa, Zhang, …..
