Environmental Toxicologist; Regulatory

Role Overview

At Huntsman we’re currently looking for Environmental Toxicologists to join our Product Safety & Regulatory Compliance team. In this role, you’ll help commercialize new chemical and polymer products by ensuring their regulatory compliance and sustainability. You’ll collaborate within a diverse and global team of human health, exposure, and regulatory specialists. This is a unique opportunity to gain experience and grow your environmental science career in a fast‑paced and supportive team while working on challenging, innovative chemistries.

A fully remote position is open to candidates located anywhere in the UK, and a second hybrid position is located at our Shanghai Minhang Technology Center.

As an Environmental Toxicologist, you will:

• Plan, commission, and supervise physical‑chemical, environmental fate, and ecological hazard testing at CRO laboratories.
  Analyze and interpret chemical safety data to classify hazards in line with global and domestic GHS (e.g.EU-CLP) standards.
• Work closely with R&D teams to evaluate environmental risks and exposures linked to new chemistries and manufacturing processes.
• Compile and present chemical property and exposure data using standardized reporting tools such as IUCLID, CHESAR, EasyTRA, CET.
• Leverage cheminformatics (QSAR, AI) and New Approach Methodologies (NAM) to support chemical hazard assessments.
• Engage in international forums including regulatory consortia, trade associations, and expert working groups relevant to our products, markets, and compliance issues.

• University degree in chemistry, biochemistry, environmental science, toxicology, or related field. Candidates holding higher degrees and/or having prior industrial experience are encouraged to apply.
• Previous experience in:
  • Assessing chemical distribution, persistence, bioaccumulation, endocrine disruption, and environmental effects of chemicals.
  • Analytical characterization and monitoring of complex substances (e.g., UVCBs, polymers) in environmental/biological samples.
  • Preparing chemical registration dossiers (EU-REACh, APAC regulations), with proficiency in IUCLID.
  • Conducting exposure modeling and risk assessments (EU-REACh, US EPA-TSCA) using ChemSTEER, CHESAR, EasyTRA, CET etc. is a plus.
  • Managing standardized testing programs (OECD Guidelines) under GLP.
• Knowledge of global chemical regulations and sustainability initiatives.
• Strong background in organic chemistry, with hands‑on experience in analytical methods (spectroscopy, HPLC, GC, MS) or polymer synthesis.
• Familiarity of QSAR, chemical grouping, and cheminformatics tools.
• Strong collaboration skills in setting strategies, and in managing projects, priorities, budgets, and timelines.
• Ability to communicate technically in Japanese is a plus.
