When establishing new Task Groups, ICRP calls for expressions of interest for experts to complete the membership. Notices are posted here, normally for a period of about six weeks, and advertised through social media and news articles on the ICRP website.
Applications are accepted only through the Expression of Interest to Join an ICRP Task Group web portal, and only for currently open opportunites listed below. Applications require a CV using this template. The file name should be "[your family name].pdf". The CV must be in pdf format, in English, and not more than three (3) pages. Applications with CVs longer than three (3) pages will not be considered. (Current members of ICRP Committees 1, 2, 3, or 4 will not be asked to submit a CV.)
Task Group members should be familiar with the System of Radiological Protection developed by ICRP.
ICRP aims for Task Group membership to be geographically and experientially diverse.
The process is often quite competitive. All candidates will be informed of the outcome of their application within about one month of the submission deadline whether they are selected or not.
Note that successful candidates will be required to complete a conflict of interest declaration before their membership is confirmed.
| Task Group 128 Individualisation and Stratification in Radiological Protection: Implications and Areas of Application is seeking members with knowledge and expertise in one or more of the following areas: thorough knowledge of ICRP Publications 103 and 147 and the current system of protection; sound understanding of the scientific literature relating to individual radiation sensitivity and likely future advances; appreciation of the needs within the medical community when justifying and optimising procedures, and direct communication with patients; experience and expertise in communicating risk information to public and professional audiences; thorough understanding of current and likely future advances in dosimetry that may allow further refinement of doses to individuals; thorough understanding of current and likely future advances in risk assessment that may allow further refinement of risks to groups of individuals; sound knowledge of the ethical basis of the system of protection and ethics more broadly; expertise in radiation protection in relation to space travel; expertise in application of individualisation in areas of health protection outside of the radiation protection field |
