By becoming a member of the Society of Toxicology (SOT), you have demonstrated your commitment to creating a safer and healthier world. The SOT is proud to partner with you on this mission. Membership in the Society is offered on several tiers so that we may best include and serve toxicologists from varying backgrounds and levels of experience. Pictured below are SOT members 
at every career level networking at the SOT 2014 Annual Meeting Welcome Reception.
•Postdoctoral Members hold a PhD or equivalent doctorate (e.g., MD, DVM), have an interest in toxicology, and are under the direction of a research mentor.
•Associate Members are qualified individuals who are engaged in professional activities in toxicology.
•Full Members have a continuing professional interest in toxicology, have conducted and published original research, and/or are generally recognized as expert in some aspect of toxicology. Associate Membership is not a prerequisite for Full Membership.
We encourage you to upgrade your membership as you progress through your career in toxicology, when you have reached a milestone such as completing a doctoral degree program, or have achieved a number of years or publications in the field to qualify for Full membership.
SOT membership at any level provides distinction and recognition among your peers, as well as members-only access to the SOT website and ToXchange, the SOT Job Bank, Mentor Match, and important communications about your society and discipline. As a member, you receive discounted registration for the SOT Annual Meeting and reduced rate access to Toxicological Sciences. You also are eligible for many prestigious awards, grants, and fellowships offered by SOT and its Endowment Fund, Regional Chapters, Special Interest Groups, and Specialty Sections.
As a Postdoctoral Member, you are included in the Postdoctoral Assembly, which is a great resource for scientific growth, networking, and career advancement.

As an Associate Member, you are eligible for leadership opportunities on many of SOT’s appointed committees that foster the development of the strategic initiatives of the Society. You may serve in the President or Treasurer chain of a Regional Chapter, Special Interest Group, or Specialty Section, and you may chair sessions at the SOT Annual Meeting.
