In 1993, Seixas was appointed assistant professor at the UW, where he developed a teaching and research program on exposure assessment techniques in relation to epidemiologic studies.

His research activities have included studies on silica exposure, irritant exposures in aluminum smelting, and organic dust exposures. Over the past eight years, Seixas has studied noise exposure in the construction industry. In addition to ongoing studies in construction, he has developed an interest in injury prevention and is currently working on risks in “precarious employment,” including day laborers.
Seixas is professor of exposure sciences in the School’s Department of Environmental and Occupational Health Sciences. He received a master’s degree in industrial hygiene at Harvard School of Public Health. He earned his doctorate in industrial health from the University of Michigan.
