Primary Duties: 

1. Provide veterinary care for all species used in research and development.

• • First line evaluation of clinical cases to all species on site
• • Initiate diagnostics and treatment in consultation with veterinarian.
• • Communicate cases progress, treatment and recommendation to the PI/Scientist in conjunction with the veterinarian
• • Monitor treatment and progress
• • Preventive medicine such as rodent health monitoring program, microbiology, disease surveillance 
• • After hours, weekend, and holiday clinical coverage as needed
• • Maintain stocks of clinical supplies and medicines including DEA controlled substances

Preference would be for an individual with a BS in Biology/Microbiology (or similar).

• • Lab experience (or small scale fermentation experience) is a very strong preference.
• • Need someone that wouldn’t need to necessarily be taught the basics of GMP and GLP (i.e., good documentation practices, basic Micro lab skills, etc.).
• • So, a minimum of at least 2-5 years of experience would probably be ideal. If the person has sound lab experience, but not necessarily within the industry, I would not necessarily discount them. 
• • In this situation, the basic lab/micro knowledge is what is the most critical piece, in addition to being able to work independently as needed.

Additional Skills: 

• • BS in Biology/Microbiology
• • At least 2 - 5 years lab/GMP experience REQUIRED
