Lead Toxicologist

To support ICF’s dynamic growth and expanding client base, we are seeking a Senior Toxicologist to work in our Health Science Portfolio. This group of 130+ science professionals provide toxicology, hazard assessment, epidemiology, risk assessment, exposure assessment, environmental modeling, and related support that addresses the full spectrum of potentially hazardous agents, including chemicals and microbes. We specialize in identifying and quantifying the effects of environmental pollutants, such as metals, pesticides, and volatile organic compounds, on human health and the environment.

The Senior Toxicologist’s project work would support federal agencies (such as U.S. EPA and NIEHS) in conducting and reporting the results of hazard studies and supporting risk assessments of environmental pollutants and microbes.

The position can be located remotely, although preference is for a candidate to be located in either Reston, VA, or Durham, NC.

Assist in the definition of project scope and objectives, and serve as the primary point of contact for clients and the internal project team.

• Toxicological report development, including writing methods, results, and discussion sections, reviewing toxicological conclusions based on the test results, and synthesizing findings into a weight of evidence analysis.

• Toxicology domain tasks including publications and guidance, presentations at conferences, and proposal sections.

• Toxicology systematic review tasks including literature screening, study quality evaluation, study data extraction, dose-response analysis, incorporation of NAMs and mechanistic data, and data synthesis.

• Supervise, mentor, and develop junior- to mid-level staff.

What you’ll need:

• Ph.D. in toxicology, pharmacology, environmental science, or related subject.

• At least 3 years of relevant toxicological work experience in a post-doc or other role after completion of your PhD.

What we’d love:

• Experience with government programs (preferably U.S. EPA or NIEHS)

• Experience with systematic literature review

• Proactive and problem-solving approach to challenges

• Strong quantitative skills and experience with dose-response analysis

• Excellent organizational skills and attention to detail

• Ability to prioritize, multi-task, and work under strict deadlines in a fast-paced environment.
