Regulatory Toxicologist

North Yorkshire - with potential hybrid/onsite working depending on project needs

Up to £50,000 per annum plus benefits

My client is a growing, science-driven Contract Research / Development lab based in Yorkshire, working with clients to support preclinical toxicology, safety assessment and regulatory submissions.

Key Responsibilities

• Review, evaluate and interpret toxicology data (in vitro, in vivo, literature) for preclinical safety assessments.
• Design, oversee or coordinate toxicology and safety-pharmacology studies (outsourced or in‑house) in compliance with regulatory and GLP/GCP standards.
• Prepare and compile toxicology / safety sections for regulatory dossiers (e.g. IND / CTA / IMPD / CTD / briefing documents), including hazard / risk assessments, weight‑of‑evidence reports, and data gap analyses.
• Liaise with external CROs, clients, internal project teams (R&D, regulatory affairs, project management) to coordinate study plans, timelines and deliverables.
• Provide scientific advice on testing strategy, toxicological risk, and regulatory compliance throughout non‑clinical development.
• Maintain up‑to‑date knowledge of regulatory guidelines and scientific developments; ensure compliance with relevant frameworks.
• Peer‑review work, supervise or mentor junior scientists / toxicologists, and contribute to project‑ and lab‑level safety strategy.
• Communicate findings internally and to external stakeholders / clients; produce clear, high‑quality reports and regulatory‑ready documents.

Qualifications

• MSc / PhD (or equivalent) in Toxicology, Pharmacology, Biomedical Sciences, Biochemistry, or related life‑science discipline.
• Solid experience in toxicology, safety pharmacology or non‑clinical safety assessment — ideally within a pharmaceutical, biotech or CRO environment.
• Familiarity with in vitro and/or in vivo toxicology methods, ADME/TK, genotoxicity, safety pharmacology or related toxicity endpoints.
• Strong understanding of regulatory requirements, guidelines (e.g. ICH, GLP), and dossier preparation processes.
• Excellent scientific writing and communication skills; ability to produce regulatory‑quality reports.
