About This Role

The purpose of the PACE Fellowship Program is to provide emerging professionals with applied, experiential learning in a Community of Practice dedicated to building their capacity to lead community engagement and participatory processes.

The selected fellow will assist with providing education and technical assistance activities to communities interested in redeveloping environmentally or potentially environmentally contaminated properties, as part of the Technical Assistance to Brownfields (TAB) and KSU Tribal TAB Programs and other funded activities of the Center. Specifically, the Fellow will work on multiple potential projects, such as: i) Develop and implement a quantitative framework to assign traditional public health and proxy economic values to non-economic public health and social outputs resulting from brownfield redevelopment activities; ii) Create educational programming that translates technical environmental data (such as Phase I/II reports) into accessible health information for residents living near potentially contaminated site.; iii) Develop technical assistance materials focused on the intersection of brownfields and public health, and other projects, as assigned by the Participatory Research & Evaluation Director, and other Directors and TAB Staff. Final goals and expectations will be jointly established with the Fellowship director and other members of the project team at the start of the fellowship appointment.

This position also serves the larger purpose of the Center, which is to conduct research, education, and service pertaining to environmental topics, where a reputable, neutral organization is needed to develop technically sound, consensus-based solutions for diverse groups of stakeholders.

About Us

The Center for Hazardous Substance Research (CHSR) was established in 1989 and is part of the Carl R. Ice College of Engineering at Kansas State University.

Service activities include providing free technical assistance to citizens and other stakeholders who are providing input on cleanup and re-use of EPA Superfund, Brownfield, tribal and other @types of sites.
