**Job Summary**
Battelle's Life Science Research Center (LSR) in West Jefferson, OH comprises world-class toxicology facilities and expert staff who support critical toxicology, safety pharmacology, and inhalation research programs for our pharmaceutical, biotechnology, agrichemical, industrial, and government clients. Our multidisciplinary, integrated approach to problem-solving accelerates innovation while maintaining the highest standards of quality and compliance.
We are currently seeking a Environmental Toxicologist (Biochemist IV) to provide technical leadership and discipline oversight within our Environmental Hazard programs. This position functions as a subject matter expert and Discipline Lead for toxicology, focusing on strategy implementation and day-to-day execution of complex toxicology studies in a regulated research environment. The Environmental Toxicologist ensures the scientific quality, compliance, and timely completion of non-clinical toxicology studies, including oversight of study design, conduct, data analysis, and reporting. In close collaboration with Project Management and cross-functional teams (Chemistry, Inhalation, Pathology, Quality Assurance, etc.), this individual will orchestrate predictable study execution and seamless integration across disciplines to achieve client and program objectives. By providing day-to-day technical guidance and operational rigor, the Environmental Toxicologist plays a key role in supporting the program's principal investigator (PI) and Program Manager (PM) - ensuring the scientific and delivery excellence that allows program leadership to focus on high-level strategy and client engagement.
**Responsibilities**
+ Provide expert toxicology leadership on multiple concurrent studies, serving as Study Director or Discipline Lead for _in vivo_ environmental toxicology and related studies (e.g., inhalation, biodistribution, pharmacokinetic, efficacy studies) for government and commercial sponsors.
+ Review and oversee all scientific elements of toxicology projects, including study protocols, amendments, data, and reports, to ensure scientific integrity, GLP compliance, and alignment with sponsor requirements. Guarantee that deliverables undergo thorough internal technical review and quality control prior to final approval by PIs or external release, upholding Battelle's reputation for excellence.
+ Drive on-schedule execution of toxicology studies by closely integrating toxicology plans with program/project timelines, monitoring key milestones (study set-up, dosing, data analysis, reporting) and proactively identifying/mitigating risks (e.g., resource constraints, data variability) to prevent delays. Quickly escalate critical risks or issues with recommended solutions to PMs/PIs to maintain a "no surprises" environment for clients and stakeholders.
+ Coordinate cross-functional activities across disciplines (Toxicology, Chemistry, Inhalation, Pathology, etc.) and interface with other Discipline Leads, ensuring consistent methodologies and smooth handoffs. Lead or participate in interdisciplinary planning and problem-solving sessions to align study execution with the broader program and operational goals.
+ Mentor and develop toxicology staff (Study Directors, scientists, technicians), providing scientific guidance and frameworks for execution. Establish knowledge-sharing forums and best practice reviews to continuously improve team proficiency, build capacity (reducing single points of failure), and promote a culture of excellence and collaboration.
+ Maintain disciplined communication and meeting cadences. Lead regular toxicology team meetings and contribute to program status updates, ensuring key decisions, changes, and progress are clearly communicated across the team and to leadership. Uphold meeting best practices (agendas, action tracking) to create a transparent, efficient operating environment.
+ Champion process improvements in toxicology operations and study workflows. Identify and implement efficiency and quality enhancements (e.g., streamlined review cycles, improved scheduling processes) and contribute to the program's operational playbook, driving continuous improvement and scalability in how toxicology studies are executed.
+ Contribute to program growth and success. May lead or collaborate with business development and project management teams in proposal development, scope definition, and client discussions as needed. Support leadership in meeting program objectives and financial targets by e
