UK-based In Vivo Toxicologist. Home based, United Kingdom (12 month contract). 

 

You will be partnering with a well-known global pharmaceutical company with a strong portfolio in cardiovascular, gastrointestinal, infection, neuroscience, respiratory and inflammation medicines.

You will have an opportunity to work in a solid partnership and an environment driven by innovation and continuous improvement. This program is for you if you are looking for an environment where people feel they belong and are empowered to reach their full potential, perform at their best and make a valued contribution to saving lives.


Here in the ICON Strategic Solutions team, we are in an established partnership with a primary multinational pharmaceutical and biotechnology company to supply a full-time, 12-month Fixed-term (with likelihood of extension) UK-based In-Vivo Toxicology Manager to provide leadership and expertise within the client’s Toxicology team. It is a fully home-based role – with no expectation to visit a lab environment.

 

You should:

  • Understand the practices, principles and concepts associated with planning and delivering a fit for purpose non-clinical toxicology study program.
  • Work closely with Project Toxicologists, other internal experts and the CRO Study Director to design and report high quality regulatory studies to agreed deadlines, communicating results to cross functional project teams.
  • Be the accountable point of contact for communication with CROs at all stages of studies, potentially including on site study visits (some travel therefore required).

Of particular interest are candidates with a strong scientific background, and a strong preference for candidates with some experience working as either a Study Director and / or Study monitor supporting in vivo non-clinical toxicology studies. Those with good project management skills with an understanding of the lab-based roles, and able to confidently communicate with internal and external stakeholders are of particular interest.

 

  • MS or BS in Pharmacology, Toxicology or a related Natural Science subject area.
  • Safety assessment experience from non-clinical research and development work within the pharmaceutical and/or CRO industry.
  • Experienced in vivo toxicologist with hands on experience working as either a GLP Study Director and/or Study Monitor for in vivo non-clinical toxicology studies.
  • Good command of pharmacological and/or toxicological principles and methods and the ability to rapidly familiarise with new therapeutic approaches.
  • Familiarity with, and the application of, appropriate regulatory principles and guidelines and the passion to work within and contribute to the subject area of Toxicology in a drug development setting.
