The Socioeconomic Analysis Team is responsible for providing high- quality economic advice and analysis to ensure that chemicals are regulated in line with legislative requirements and safety standards.
You will work in areas such as regulatory economics, impact assessment and cost benefit analysis, collaborating with scientists, policy advisors, and operational delivery teams on regulatory issues related to chemicals. Your primary tasks will be related to assessing and scrutinising the socioeconomic impact of proposals to regulate chemicals under the new UK Chemicals Regime (UK REACH). The scale and scope of questions that the economic analyst may have to deal with will vary, but will primarily be related to the costs and benefits of chemicals regulation and the technical and economic feasibility of alternatives and substitution of chemicals of concern.
