ToxStrategies, Inc., is seeking a chemical or environmental engineer with experience conducting quantitative chemical exposure assessments to join our expanding Exposure Sciences consulting practice. The position involves data-driven assessments of human and environmental exposure to chemicals to support risk-based evaluations related to foods, manufacturing of chemical substances, use of commercial and consumer products and contaminated sites. The successful candidate will have a working knowledge of statistical approaches for evaluation of environmental data (including Bayesian methods), chemical fate and transport mechanisms, mathematical exposure modeling, and environmental sampling. Mastery of data presentation and visualization as well as computer programming in R language is preferred. Working knowledge of physiologically based pharmacokinetic (PBPK) modeling is also considered a plus.

Active participation in the scientific community such as presenting at professional meetings (e.g., AIHCE, ISES, SOT, SRA), serving on committees, and publishing scientific manuscripts is strongly encouraged.
