Background
As required by State law (Health and Safety Code Section 39700), CARB sponsors a research program that is guided by the mission to provide sound and timely scientific results to support CARB’s policies and programs. CARB’s research program was established by the Legislature in 1971 and has formed the basis of CARB’s programs since its inception. The research program’s goals of informing health-based air quality standards, reducing air pollution exposures, and protecting California from the potential impacts of climate change have been met through a diverse portfolio of projects.
State law also required that CARB establish the RSC to review proposed and completed research projects. The RSC consists of physicians, scientists, biologist, chemist, engineers, meteorologists, and other subject matter experts that have the knowledge necessary to effectively advise on CARB’s health, environmental justice, air quality, and climate research.
CARB invites anyone to nominate qualified candidates or apply independently to serve on the RSC. CARB is looking subject matter experts with recognized experience in the specific subject they are applying under, and who are passionate about research and putting it to public use as a tool to help meet the state’s air quality and climate goals.
For details about the roles and responsibilities of RSC members, visit the RSC webpage. The online application must be submitted by March 4, 2024 to be considered. All applications that are submitted by the due date will be reviewed by CARB staff. Only the most qualified candidates will be contacted to schedule an interview.
