We are now looking for a new colleague to the Environmental Regulation Unit who wants to contribute to ensuring that effective and safe plant protection products are available to the agricultural and horticultural industries.

Here, you will work at the intersection of science, regulations, and public benefit, in close collaboration with other authorities and international actors.

In this role, you work with evaluating biological and chemical plant protection products prior to approval for use. The work takes place in close cooperation with the Swedish Chemicals Agency and involves reviewing companies' test data in applications for the approval of new plant protection products.

• Regulatory matters
• Educational initiatives
• Special projects

We offer a varied workday, the possibility of a flexible work situation, and work in both national and international contexts.
