About This Role
This toxicology role offers the opportunity to apply curiosity and collaborate with innovative individuals globally. The work involves making an impact by conducting human health risk assessments for a wide range of products, authoring chemical hazard summaries, and recommending toxicology study placements.
Responsibilities
- Conduct and communicate human health risk assessments on a broad range of 3M products, considering identified hazards and exposure according to the intended product use
- Assess scientific literature, evaluate the toxicological database, determine appropriate toxicological and other safety endpoints, conduct exposure assessments, and provide written documentation
- Author chemical hazard summaries for inclusion in 3M databases
- Advocate for alternative chemical selection where possible and support chemicals management
- Recommend and coordinate appropriate toxicology study placements with third-party contract research organizations
- Actively evaluate emerging scientific methods, tools, and regulatory developments
- Contribute ideas that improve the efficiency, quality, and scientific robustness of toxicological assessments
- Serve as a trusted advisor to internal stakeholders and collaborate with project teams to support 3M’s business priorities
- Demonstrate a personal commitment to maintaining and enhancing technical and professional skills
- Comply with corporate policies, procedures and security standards
- Contribute to a strong Environmental Health and Safety (EHS) culture by following safety policies, identifying hazards, and engaging in continuous improvement
Requirements
- Master’s degree or higher (completed and verified prior to start) from an accredited university in toxicology, pharmacology, biomedical or related scientific field of study
- Three or more years of experience conducting toxicological assessments, human health risk assessments, or product safety evaluations, including the interpretation and integration of experimental and computational data to support business and regulatory decisions
- Must be legally authorized to work in country of employment without sponsorship for employment visa status (e.g., H1B status)
Nice to have:
- PhD, MD, or DVM with 1+ years of experience
- Board certification (DABT)
- Demonstrated expertise in the application of OECD QSAR Toolbox and other computational toxicology tools for hazard prediction, chemical categorization, read-across justification, and weight-of-evidence assessment
- Ability to critically evaluate model outputs, document scientific rationale, and communicate conclusions effectively to stakeholders
- Strong interpersonal communication and technical writing skills with demonstrated proficiency working effectively with technical staff from diverse backgrounds
