We are looking for a highly skilled and detail-oriented Toxicologist to join our scientific research team. The ideal candidate will have a strong background in biology, chemistry, and pharmacology, and will be responsible for studying the effects of chemicals, drugs, and other substances on human health and the environment. As a Toxicologist, you will conduct laboratory experiments, analyze data, and provide expert assessments to support product safety, regulatory compliance, and public health initiatives.
Your work will involve identifying potential hazards, determining safe exposure levels, and evaluating the risks associated with chemical substances. You will collaborate with cross-functional teams including regulatory affairs, product development, and environmental health and safety departments. The role requires a deep understanding of toxicological principles, risk assessment methodologies, and regulatory guidelines such as REACH, EPA, and FDA standards.
In this position, you will design and implement toxicological studies, interpret complex data sets, and prepare detailed reports and presentations for internal and external stakeholders. You may also be involved in developing new testing methods and contributing to scientific publications. Strong communication skills are essential, as you will need to explain technical findings to non-scientific audiences and provide guidance on safety measures and regulatory requirements.
This is an excellent opportunity for a motivated professional who is passionate about science and public health, and who thrives in a collaborative and intellectually stimulating environment. If you are committed to advancing knowledge in toxicology and making a positive impact on health and safety, we encourage you to apply.
