Job description

Battelle delivers when others can't. We conduct research and development, manage national laboratories, design and manufacture products and deliver critical services for our clients-whether they are a multi-national corporation, a small start-up or a government agency.
We recognize and appreciate the value and contributions of individuals from a wide range of backgrounds and experiences and welcome all qualified individuals to apply.
Job Summary
Battelle is seeking a nationally recognized scientific leader in New Approach Methodologies (NAMs) to accelerate the adoption of human-relevant, non-animal testing platforms across research, safety assessment, and regulatory science. This position plays a critical role in advancing organ-on-chip systems, micro physiological platforms, multi-omics integration, and computational toxicology to support the evolution of modern toxicology and regulatory decision-making.
The Principal Scientist will drive scientific strategy, build high-impact partnerships, contribute to federal and industry initiatives, and lead multidisciplinary R&D programs that position Battelle at the forefront of human-relevant biological models.
The role will be responsible for business development within the NAM field.
Responsibilities
Scientific Leadership & Strategy
  • Develop and lead Battelle's scientific strategy for integrating NAMs, MPS, organ-on-chip platforms, and human-relevant in vitro models into client programs.
  • Serve as a thought leader on emerging scientific and regulatory expectations across FDA, EPA, NIH/NICEATM, and industry sectors.
  • Translate technological advances into actionable programmatic growth opportunities.

Research & Development Execution
  • Lead multidisciplinary scientific teams in the design, validation, and application of MPS technologies, including multi-organ and tissue-specific systems.
  • Establish integrated MPS workflows that incorporate transcriptomics, proteomics, metabolomics, and other omics-based platforms.
  • Develop approaches for MPS-to-in vivo extrapolation and computational toxicology integration (QSAR, machine learning, predictive modeling).
  • Provide scientific oversight, technical review, and quality assurance for complex R&D programs.

Regulatory & Scientific Engagement
  • Collaborate with regulatory leaders to support scientific acceptance, qualification, and guidance development for MPS-based methodologies.
  • Represent Battelle in national working groups, interagency collaborations, scientific advisory committees, and industry consortia.

Collaboration, Partnerships & Business Development
  • Build strategic partnerships with academic institutions, federal agencies, and industry leaders to expand MPS and NAM capabilities.
  • Contribute to proposal development, client engagement, and technical marketing to grow Battelle's NAM/MPS portfolio.
  • Publish high-impact scientific manuscripts and present research findings at national and international conferences.

Key Qualifications
  • PhD (or equivalent) in toxicology, biomedical engineering, physiology, pharmacology, microbiology, virology, or related field.
  • Recognized subject-matter expertise in NAMs, MPS, organ-on-chip technologies, or advanced in vitro models.
  • Demonstrated leadership of interdisciplinary scientific teams.
  • Evidence of scientific impact through publications, regulatory engagements, working group participation, or technology development.
  • Experience applying human-relevant test systems to safety assessment, mechanistic investigation, or translational science.

Preferred Qualifications
  • Experience developing or validating MPS systems for regulatory applications (FDA, EPA, industry).
  • Participation in national NAM/MPS initiatives, interagency workgroups, or scientific standards development.
  • Familiarity with computational toxicology, QSAR modeling, and machine-learning approaches.
  • Proven ability to build collaborative partnerships and secure external funding.
