Singapore SFA Singapore Food Agency Full time

**[What the role is]**

The mission of SFA is to ensure and secure a supply of safe food for Singapore.

These food safety risk assessments will support the risk management actions taken by SFA.

- Conduct food safety chemical and microbiological risk assessments of foodborne hazards to assess their health risks.
- Provide scientific support to risk management decisions and risk communication through risk assessments.
- Conduct literature search and regular monitoring of food safety articles to keep abreast of the emerging risk due to emerging or re-emerging hazards for highlighting concerns to management
- Communicate findings from food safety risk assessment through stakeholder engagement, conference presentations, scientific publications, project reports and workshops.
- Develop and maintain a network of local and overseas scientific experts and food safety regulators for discussions on the science, risk assessment, risk management and risk communication of food safety issues.
- Engage with external partners to build up food safety knowledge and capabilities in the public and industry.

**[What we are looking for]**
- Minimum PhD in public health, toxicology, pharmaceutical sciences, biological sciences, microbiology or food science.
- Proficient in scientific literature search and good scientific writing skills, with the ability to translate complex scientific knowledge to simple language suitable for non-technical stakeholders.
- Knowledge of food safety management systems (such as GMP, HACCP) and/or food safety risk analysis would be an advantage.
- Able to work effectively in a team or independently.
- Demonstrate initiative, drive, and willingness to take on additional duties when required.
- Able to perform multiple tasks simultaneously and effectively.
- Good writing, analytical, communication and presentation skills. The ability to fluently speak languages/dialects besides English would be an advantage.
