Ecotoxicologist - Risk Assessment

An opportunity to join the Chemical Regulatory science team at an R&D focused global PPP company. We are looking for an ecotoxicology regulatory specialist with around 2-5 years of industry experience, ideally with aquatic knowledge and some experience of risk assessment.

The role involves developing data, risk assessments, and producing the ecotoxicology section of registration dossiers to support Active Substance renewals, product registrations, product reviews, scoping assessments, product defense, and keeping track of developments in ecotoxicology and their impacts on PPPs. You will work on all aspects of ecotoxicology (aquatic, terrestrial, NTA, etc.), but specific aquatic knowledge would suit the team very well. Training in higher tier assessments and other advanced areas will be provided; however, you must have a good basic understanding of regulatory ecotoxicology and risk assessment.

We are looking for an ecotoxicologist who is making their first or second career move; you are likely to be degree qualified and have (regulatory) ecotoxicology and risk assessment experience – this could be at a consultancy, a manufacturer, or a competent authority. Specific aquatic knowledge would balance the team well but is not essential. You must have strong attention to detail, be a quick learner, able to multi-task, prioritize, and work quickly and accurately.
