The research at the unit of Integrative toxicology covers a wide range, from experimental and observational studies through to mathematical modelling and application of such research in health risk assessment.
The aim is to highlight areas that are crucial for toxicological risk assessment, with a focus on health and safety at the workplace, indoor air quality and chemical accidents.
Your mission
The postdoctor will be working with systematic analyses of the scientific basis of Occupational Exposure Limits (OELs) and Derived No-Effect Levels (DNELs). The research objectives are to identify sources of, and means to manage, bias in the hazard identification and hazard assessment of chemical substances. As a postdoc you are expected to participate in data collection, analysis and authoring of scientific articles in English. The position is temporary for 12 months.
Your profile
We are looking for a highly motivated candidate with a degree in toxicology or related field. Knowledge about health risk assessment practices is required. Experience of performing or analysing health risk assessments will be given the highest weight. High weight will also be given to skills regarding communication of research findings through peer-reviewed publications in English. Documented knowledge about chemicals regulation, regulatory toxicology, occupational hygiene, systematic review methodology and/or metanalyses is an advantage.
Qualified to be employed as a postdoctoral researcher is one who has obtained a doctorate or has equivalent scientific competence. Applicants who have not completed a doctorate at the end of the application period may also apply, provided that all requirements for a completed degree are met before the (intended) date of employment. This must be substantiated by the applicant's main supervisor, director or equivalent.
