The Food Standards Agency (FSA) is the government department that protects public health and consumer interests in relation to food.
The Chemical Risk Assessment Unit (CRAU) needs to respond to requests for advice on chemical risk assessment from across the FSA and externally. This post is part of a small team that has responsibility for securing and providing scientific advice on the toxicological safety of contaminants, mycotoxins, shellfish toxins, natural toxicants and food contact materials, both within the Agency and to external organisations and the public. Furthermore, we provide secretariat support to the UK’s Committee on Toxicity of Chemicals in Food, Consumer Products and the Environment (COT).
This role offers the successful candidate the opportunity to work with national and international experts, and to influence public health.
