Objectives of the Position

To sustain and grow BASF AP’s business in the Asia Pacific region, it is essential to strengthen regional regulatory science expertise in toxicology, consumer safety, environmental fate and ecotoxicology. This expertise is crucial for safeguarding our License-To-Operate in a changing regulatory environment, driven by an increasing number of dossiers submitted to support our commercial growth and more stringent data requirements across the region. Furthermore, developing new active ingredients tailored for the Asia market requires the involvement of regional experts in global development teams. There is also a rising demand for local risk assessments and customized mitigation proposals as part of our stewardship and sustainability initiatives.

This regional ecotoxicology function will provide support for environmental risk assessments, coordinate and monitor local ecotoxicological studies as needed, assist with dossier preparation, and deliver technical training to local regulatory teams across Asia-Pacific. As local studies can have an impact on global level the candidate will be embedded also in the global ecotox team to facilitate discussions and raise awareness for requirements of the region. Regulatory ecotox requirements are emerging across different countries in the APA region, thus the position will include scientific advocacy. The regional ecotoxicology scientist will report operationally to the corresponding Global Function in Limburgerhof, Germany and administratively to the regional Regulatory Science Group Leader in Beijing.
