Environmental Epidemiologist,

To support ICF’s dynamic growth and expanding client base, we are seeking an Environmental Epidemiologist to work in our Health Science Practice. This group of 120+ science professionals provide toxicology, hazard assessment, epidemiology, risk assessment, exposure assessment, environmental modeling, and related support that addresses the full spectrum of potentially hazardous agents, including chemicals and microbes. We specialize in identifying and quantifying the effects of environmental pollutants, such as metals, pesticides, and volatile organic compounds, on human health and the environment.

The Environmental Epidemiologist’s project work would support federal agencies (such as U.S. EPA and NIEHS), state agencies, and private sector clients in assessing the human health impacts of pollutants. Specific tasks would involve qualitative and quantitative analyses that form the basis of human health hazard, exposure, and risk assessments.

Support and provide technical leadership on systematic literature reviews for potentially hazardous agents, including:

screening available studies for relevance to a research question,

extracting relevant study data,

evaluating study design and the risk of bias for included studies,
