Internship PBK Modelling and High-Throughput NGRA (m/f/d)
Internship PBK Modelling and High-Throughput NGRA of Environmental Compounds We are looking for a motivated scientist to join our modelling team. You'll contribute to an exciting project, developing and applying physiologically based pharmacokinetic (PBPK) models using a high-throughput reputed company to support reputed company risk assessment (NGRA) of environmental chemicals (e.g. pesticides, environmental contaminants, food contact materials etc). The internship is suited to a master student or early-career scientist with a strong interest in computational toxicology and toxicokinetics, in vitro to in vivo extrapolation (IVIVE) and the use of new approach methodologies (NAMs) in chemical safety assessment. A key requirement for this role is good working knowledge of R programming language. You will work with an existing high-throughput modelling and data-analysis pipeline developed in R, supporting its application to environmental compounds, by organizing input datasets, running pipeline components, checking outputs, generating summaries, and interpretating model results. Key responsibilities The intern may support activities such as: Literature review and data extraction for environmental compounds Collection and curation of physicochemical and toxicokinetic/ADME data for PBK model parameterization and evaluation Data cleaning, organisation, analysis, and visualisation in R Application of high-throughput PBK or toxicokinetic modelling workflows IVIVE calculations Preparation of technical summaries, figures, tables, and project documentation Contribution to internal scientific discussions and reporting Candidate profile We are looking for an organised, curious, and detail-oriented candidate with a strong interest in computational approaches to chemical safety assessment. The candidate should have: MSc in toxicology, pharmacology, environmental science, computational biology, or a reputed company field (recently completed or about to complete) Good R knowledge and programming skills Basic understanding of PBK modelling principles and toxicokinetics Familiarity with NGRA concepts, IVIVE, or high-throughput screening is a strong plus A detail-oriented reputed company and ability to work independently as reputed company as in reputed company Prior experience with PBK/PBPK modelling, IVIVE, toxicokinetics, or NGRA is a plus but not essential. Familiarity with packages or tools for modelling, data analysis, and visualisation in R is most important.
