Abbott is a global leader in the health care industry and has a wide variety of products including pharmaceuticals, nutritionals and medical devices. The Global Occupational Toxicology Group at Abbott currently has an opening for a toxicologist. The toxicologist would be participating in generating employee exposure limits, extraneous matter evaluations and hazard communication. The applicant will also likely be involved in global chemical registrations (REACH, China, etc.), environmental risk assessments and testing if needed for new product submissions (European Union and others as they develop) and placing/monitoring toxicology studies (environmental and health studies) for marketed products. In terms of geography, the global occupational toxicology group is located just north of Chicago in Illinois. For travel, approximately up to 10% of the time would be spent traveling.
We are looking for a PhD with a minimum of 1-3 years of relevant industry experience but would consider a recent PhD graduate. However, a PhD is required for the position. Experience with in vivo studies (whole animal experience) is preferred. If interested in the position, please send a resume to Dr. Chris Sprague.
