About the role

SENIOR 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 100+ 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—including metals, pesticides, industrial chemicals, 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 the design, conduct, and reporting of hazard studies and human health risk assessments for environmental pollutants. In particular, the successful candidate will provide leadership in the identification, interpretation, and integration of molecular biology, mechanistic toxicology, and new approach methodologies (NAMs) data to support hazard identification, mode-of-action analyses, systematic review, and human health risk assessments. The role will involve evaluating diverse evidence streams including gene expression, -omics, cellular and molecular assays, pathway-based data, and adverse outcome pathway (AOP) frameworks. Location: Remote What you’ll do Project management and technical leadership activities on multiple projects concurrently involving toxicology data, systematic literature reviews, and risk assessment. Assist in the definition of project scope and objectives and serve as the primary point of contact for client and internal project teams.
