• Reviewing toxicology reports and writing literature reviews and summaries
• Water and soil assessments
• Critically review and evaluate data
• Running human health risk assessments for chemicals in environmental media
• Applying EFSA, ECHA, US EPA, WHO/IPCS guidance (or equivalent)
• Explaining complex science clearly to technical and non-technical audiences
