Burdock Group Hiring for Toxicologist Job at Orlando, FL Full Time

Toxicologist Position Available (For immediate hire.)

Description:
Burdock Group Consultants is in search of driven, inquisitive scientist with an appetite for problem- solving. The Burdock Group performs safety and risk assessments for foods, human food and animal feed ingredients (including pet food), dietary supplements, cosmetics, and product contamination issues for our clients, many of whom are listed in the Fortune 500. Routinely, the scientist gains an understanding of the subject matter by reviewing the scientific literature and preparing an assessment of the issue, much like preparing a review of the scientific literature for a publication. Then, in collaboration with senior members of the staff, the scientist determines what lays within the boundaries of regulation and precedent, and then employs his/her judgement regarding the safety of the substance according to it’s intended use.
Alternatively, the scientist may be asked to determine the efficacy and degree of rigor of evidence supporting a substance in preparation for a future health claim or structure/function claim. Mitigation strategies, well-designed studies and persuasive arguments are all part of the mix for successful outcomes, but the scientist must be ready for the challenge. No one knows all of this process on the first day and because we know this is a niche area with no training available anywhere else, we can provide you with the coaching you need, but you must bring with you strong analytical thinking, problem solving skills and a determination to succeed.

Requirements:

• MS or PhD, preferably in Toxicology or Pharmacology, but other life science degrees are eligible.
• Minimum 1-2 years experience in scientific communications, consulting, or scientific writing.
• Strong analytical thinking and problem solving skills.
• Must live in Orlando, Florida or be willing to relocate – collaborative work is best done face-to-face.
• Must be eligible to work in the US.

The ideal candidate must:

• Possess an ability to problem solve and think critically.
• Interpret animal and clinical data from the scientific literature.
• Communicate clearly and persuasively both in writing and verbally.
• Demonstrate strong attention to detail.
• Consistently perform at the highest scientific levels with minimal oversight.
• Exhibit transparency in decision-making, communication, and commitment to quantifiable business goals through accountability.
• Demonstrate past success in meeting deadlines while working as part of a team.

Benefits:

• Base salary plus commission for hours billed ($100-150K or more for a high output person).
• Vacation and sick leave, health insurance, 401(K), moving allowance.
• Significant opportunities for publication.
• Participation in professional societies is encouraged.
• Excellent training program in food and feed ingredient and dietary supplement toxicology and regulation.
• Florida has no income tax on personal earnings, so you keep more of what you earn.
• If you enjoy unraveling mysteries, solving puzzles or games like Clue® and designing persuasive arguments, this may be the ideal job for you.

This is an opportunity to work with the most respected, successful and most published group of any food ingredient/dietary supplement consulting company in the world.
