A letter

Dear Sir/Madam,

I would like to apply for the open position at the rank of Professor in the specialization "Public Health" at CII, Department of Nursery, Faculty of Health Sciences.

I have worked in the field of environmental health for 20 years on several different topics: dioxin toxicology, dioxin epidemiology, dioxin risk assessment, fine particle risk assessment, benefit-risk assessment of food, decision analysis, health impact assessment, climate change mitigation, and transportation. I am a senior researcher and unit leader in the Department of Environmental Health in THL (National Institute for Health and Welfare) in Finland. I am also adjunct professor of toxicology, especially risk assessment in the University of Eastern Finland (UEF). I have given lectures on risk assessment and modelling, and I have organised a 6 ECTS course on decision analysis and risk management.

I have developed, in collaboration, a new method called open assessment. It improves traditional decision analyses or impact assessments by opening up the process of making the assessment to collaboration between experts, decision makers, and stakeholders without hampering scientific scrutiny. I have also developed a web workspace Opasnet for making such assessments online. Several research projects are actively using the website for their research and assessments. I am interested in offering my expertise and these tools for CII.

I have excellent skills in written and spoken English and Finnish. I have good skills in Swedish and moderate skills in French. I do not speak or write Greek.

I have ongoing duties in Finland, and therefore it will not be possible for me to apply for the position full-time. Instead, I am willing to spend 10 - 20 % of my working time in Limassol working for CII. The details are negotiable, but a good solution for me would be to visit CII 2 - 4 times per year so that it covers the working time. I am able to take the position in September 2012, if other conditions are met.

I hope that you will consider me despite my lack of skills in Greek and the part-time arrangement suggested.

Sincerely
