Under supervision of an experienced colleague, you will be managing regulatory experiments ("studies") as a Research Scientist (GLP title = Study Director). You will be responsible for the implementation, execution, and interpretation of biodegradation studies using natural soil, seawater, compost, and activated sludge from a nearby sewage treatment facility. In addition, a toxicity study using activated sludge will be executed under your responsibility. Within this department also aquatic toxicology studies are executed, to which you may also contribute in future. .. Studies are performed for pharmaceutical companies, agrochemical industry, and chemical companies. You could be running a study for a newly developed pharmaceutical treatment one week, and on a sustainable, biodegradable alternative for fuel oil or plant-derived detergent the next. The studies we perform ensure sustainable products are really sustainable, and that products can be used safely without harming the environment. We want you to do what you are good at, while enjoying the support and company of a young and enthusiastic team of scientific project managers and motivated technicians that will help you to fulfil your potential and fine-tune your skills and expertise where needed.
