The Toxics Use Reduction Institute (TURI) at UMass Lowell is looking for a new Director! This position combines the best of two worlds – research and leadership.

The Director will lead a dedicated group of professionals to protect the health and safety of workers and residents in Massachusetts and beyond from toxic chemical use. The successful candidate will also apply his/her research to industries and communities to make an immediate impact.

TURI gets challenged every day – “it’s too expensive to switch to something safer," "it’s not technically possible," "toxic chemicals work.” TURI helps to remove these barriers. We offer research and testing to help companies find safer alternatives, we train EHS professionals on the latest in toxics use reduction, and we give grants to businesses, agencies and community groups to help implement safer solutions.
