Zoetis Veterinary Medicine Research and Development (VMRD) is looking for a skilled Toxicologist/Sr. Scientist to join the Toxicology group within Clinical Pharmacology and Safety Sciences, in a challenging and dynamic position that provides technical expertise in Project Toxicology. This position will require a highly motivated and independent toxicologist to provide expertise in multidisciplinary mammalian toxicology disciplines supporting all phases of development from discovery through late-stage development, regulatory approval, and lifecycle management for both small and large molecule therapeutics. The responsibilities include: Serve as the Toxicology Technical Lead and Subject Matter Expert on project teams to define and implement toxicology strategy for veterinary medicinal product development and regulatory submissions meeting global standards. Apply cross-program toxicology and risk assessment expertise to anticipate safety challenges and provide project-level risk-based safety assessments. Independently design, oversee, and interpret toxicology studies, integrating data into comprehensive safety packages. Ensure compliance with international guidelines, with emphasis on human food safety and user safety assessments. Propose and gain alignment on toxicology strategies, interpret and communicate data to project teams, management, and regulators, and identify multidisciplinary solutions to guide complex projects. Champion the use of New Approach Methodologies (NAMs), next-generation risk assessment tools, and weight-of-evidence frameworks. Apply waiver approaches where scientifically justified and promote the 3Rs principles to advance ethical, efficient, and innovative toxicology strategies. Prepare and defend technical dossiers to global health authorities, including establishing key safety thresholds (e.g., PoD, ADI, PDE, MRL, TTC) for human food safety, standards, and product labeling for user safety. Lead interactions with regulators and address complex safety questions through formal and informal meetings, written responses, and position papers.

Expertise in safety risk assessment and interpretation of toxicological findings from in vivo, in vitro, in silico, and non-animal methodologies, applying weight-of-evidence approaches to support regulatory decision-making. Working knowledge of global regulatory requirements and expectations (e.g., ICH or VICH, FDA, EMA, etc.), with direct experience preparing submissions and engaging with health authorities. Highly organized with strong problem-solving skills, able to prioritize effectively, make informed decisions, and collaborate in a matrix environment.
