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.

- 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]**

- 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.

- Able to work effectively in a team or independently.
- Demonstrate initiative, drive, and willingness to take on additional duties when required.
