摘要
In view of the lack of information regarding careers for toxicologists in Europe, the Individual Members of EUROTOX organised a workshop on careers in toxicology during the EUROTOX Congress 2000 in London. Toxicologists are mainly employed in academia, regulatory agencies, contract research organisations (CROs) and the chemical and pharmaceutical industries. There are also a few governmental institutes involved with toxicological work other than teaching or regulation. Toxicologists can also work as independent consultants, especially for commercial organisations. The requirements for starting a career in any of the above organisations, the need and the advantages and disadvantages of specialisation, and further career prospects are summarised and briefly discussed. The organisations, and also working as an independent toxicology consultant, offer interesting professional work of relevance to modern-day society. There is currently a shortage of toxicologists not only in the traditional field of risk assessment but also especially in new areas, e.g. toxicogenomics. This shortage may be at least in part due to insufficient training opportunities. Further consideration of career opportunities is planned and will be published in due course.
