Members!
The SOT Annual Meeting, with over 7,500
attendees including the best toxicologists,
early career scientists, and toxicology-related
employers, is the best place to make your
connection, whether you are looking for a
position or searching for the right candidate.
To facilitate job searches, the SOT online Job
Bank is available at all times, and provides
you the opportunity to prepare to take full
advantages of the on-site Job Bank Center in
San Francisco.
Job Bank
Access Available Any Time,
Any Place!
The online Job Bank includes positions available
at corporations, academic institutions,
government agencies, and private research
organizations. Last year over 200 positions
were posted at the time of the Annual
Meeting. Employers rely on this service
to provide them with a robust database of
candidates available for career opportunities
ranging from junior to senior level positions.
As a member benefit, SOT members
can search Job Bank listings at no cost. SOT
Affiliates may use this system at a reduced
rate in appreciation of their commitment to
helping further the objectives of the Society.
Candidates and employers alike can access
this year-round service any time, any place at
www.toxicology.org/jobbank.
The SOT online Job Bank allows you to:
• Register as a candidate or employer
• Post employment positions or resumes
• Search the Job Bank database
• Contact employers or candidates
Once registered, candidates may search the
listing of available jobs and employers may
browse candidate profiles. Both employers
and candidates have the option of making a
confidential posting, in which no identifying
information is displayed. Communication
with a desired employer or candidate can
even be made via email messages created
within the system to protect confidentiality.
Candidates will want to update their CV and
contact information due to the increased
traffic to the Job Bank at the time of the
Annual Meeting.
Annual Meeting
Job Bank Center
Located in the Moscone Convention Center
in rooms 272, 274, and 276, the on-site Job
Bank Center provides access to the SOT
Job Bank as well as assistance in facilitating
interviews at the SOT Annual Meeting. We
offer personalized assistance if you are new
to the Job Bank or have questions. For your

producing hard copies of candidate profiles
and position descriptions. All candidates and
positions must be sought online.
The Center is available during the following

Employers recognize and appreciate that the
Annual Meeting Job Bank Center provides a
cost-effective and efficient way to interview
a distinguished pool of candidates. For your
convenience, we provide eight interview
rooms on-site during the hours listed above.
In advance of the meeting, employers will
be able to make reservations for these interview
rooms, allowing better scheduling for
employers and candidates.
As with the online Job Bank, SOT Members
have free access to the Center. All users with
current Job Bank registration at the time
of the Annual Meeting will be permitted
to use this service. Although you are
encouraged to preregister before entering the
Job Bank Center, you can register on-site.
Job Bank access will be available—as
always—through your personal computer
or mobile device and at the Annual Meeting
Email Center. Access to the online Job Bank
in the Job Bank Center is limited to short
searches for updates or new information. For

Mentor Match
Online Mentoring Program
The Society of Toxicology recognizes the
importance of mentoring in the scientific and
professional development of its members. The
objective of the online mentoring program,
Mentor Match, is to provide a service that
matches mentees with potential mentors
from the SOT membership to provide
advice on career path selection, professional
development, and life/work balance issues.
SOT members are encouraged to share their
professional knowledge and experience by
serving as mentors for colleagues and for the
next generation of toxicologists. The SOT
Annual Meeting provides a great opportunity
for the mentor and mentee to meet in
person. We strongly encourage members of
the Society to visit the Mentor Match site and
register online as mentors and/or mentees.
The Mentor Match program will develop as
individuals register, allowing the quantity of
profiles to increase to a robust combination
of both mentors and mentees. The Mentor
Match program is accessible to all active SOT
members by visiting www.toxicology.org/ai/
newcrad/mentormatch.asp.
