Dr. Esther Omaiye, ETOX Alumna, has recently been elected as the postdoctoral representative to the Southern California Chapter of the Society of Toxicology Executive Committee. Our congratulations to Ester for this recognition. We appreciate her service to the toxicology community in Southern California.
The Department of Toxic Substances Control within California EPA has an opening for a toxicologist or risk assessor for its Sacramento or Oakland, California offices. As described on the CalCareers website, "The Department of Toxic Substances Control is seeking a person who is passionate about protecting our communities from the effects of exposure to chemical contamination in the environment. The successful candidate will be not only knowledgeable, but also a good communicator, dedicated to public service, and someone who cares about others. Our Toxicologists work on a wide variety of projects including clean ups, hazardous waste regulation and safer consumer products. The Staff Toxicologist (Specialist) independently provides expert scientific support in the areas of toxicology, human and/or ecological risk assessment and exposure assessment, along with a variety of more difficult tasks directly related to toxicology and risk assessment." More information can be found at the CalCareers link. Our thanks to ETOX alumnus Efrem Neuwirth who contacted us about the position.
Efrem contacted us about the availability of another DTSC position located in Sacramento. More information about the second position can be found here.
