Postdoctoral or Post-Masters Position in Human Health Risk Assessment

The Risk Science Center at the University of Cincinnati has an opening for a post-doc or post-masters scientist with a background in toxicology, biology, or other related field to participate in our diverse projects on organohalogen flame retardants, nanomaterials, and other industrial chemicals. The successful candidate will play a primary role in developing and implementing a class-based approach to evaluation of the health effects of and exposure to organohalogen flame retardants. This includes preparing evidence maps that summarize the availability of data and conducting class-based assessments using read-across and other approaches. A background in organic chemistry and/or (quantitative) structure activity relationships (QSAR) is a plus. This work is at the forefront of how to address human health risks from data-poor chemicals in a high-throughput manner. The position is with Dr. Lynne Haber in the Department of Environmental and Public Health Sciences, College of Medicine. Our group conducts applied research (literature-based, not a wet lab) in human health risk assessment, with a focus on hazard characterization, dose-response modeling, and risk characterization.

This is a temporary one-year position with full benefits, potentially renewable pending available funding. Due to Covid-19 precautions working from a remote location for flexibility may be possible. Feel free to share this information widely. Questions? Contact Lynne Haber at Lynne.Haber@uc.edu.
