Bedford, Bedfordshire | United Kingdom
Job description
As a Senior Regulatory Ecotoxicologist you will be part of a team that is delivering HSE objectives. The UK having left the EU offers an exciting opportunity to develop and shape our regulatory schemes for the future.
With a world-class reputation for safeguarding the health and safety of people at work, HSE is adapting and evolving to meet the new challenges ahead. To help us meet these challenges, we require an ambitious Senior Regulatory Ecotoxicologist to join us.
Ecotoxicologists evaluate data from standard regulatory studies on the toxicity of pesticides, biocides or other chemicals to a wide range of non-target organisms such as birds, mammals, aquatic organisms, bees, non-target arthropods, earthworms and soil macro and micro-organisms as well as non-target terrestrial plants. This information, in addition to data on exposure, is used in carrying out the associated regulatory environmental risk assessments. These assessments are performed for substance approval and product authorisation under the GB PPPR (Plant Protection Product Regulation) and GB BPR (Biocidal Product Regulation) and to support hazard classification under the GB CLP (Classification, Labelling and Packaging) Regulation.
You will mentor and support members of the team, provide peer review of work, lead on specific technical aspects including the development of new guidance, and provide advice to specialist and policy colleagues and wider stakeholders. There will also be opportunities for you to lead for HSE on national and global activities, to ensure we keep pace with new and emerging issues in the field of regulatory ecotoxicology.
