Clinical Veterinarian

Full-time

Biomedical Research Models

Clinical Veterinarian (Preclinical Research)
Make a direct impact on animal welfare and scientific advancement

We’re looking for a Clinical Veterinarian who is passionate about animal health, high-quality care, and supporting cutting-edge preclinical research. In this role, you’ll partner closely with our Attending Veterinarian and senior leadership to ensure our animal care program operates at the highest standards of welfare, compliance, and scientific integrity.
This is an opportunity to step into a highly collaborative environment where your clinical expertise directly supports both animal well-being and meaningful research outcomes.

What You’ll Do
  • Conduct routine veterinary rounds, providing clinical care and preventive medicine while ensuring accurate and consistent documentation
  • Partner with Operations and senior staff to ensure all animal care activities meet USDA regulations, company policies, and SOPs
  • Serve as a trusted advisor on animal health and welfare, including anesthesia, analgesia, disease prevention, and humane care practices
  • Perform physical exams and health assessments, including specialized procedures such as TB testing in non-human primates
  • Collaborate with the Attending Veterinarian and IACUC to support protocol review, program oversight, and regulatory compliance
  • Contribute to training, coaching, and guidance for animal care staff to ensure best practices across the program
  • Provide surgical and anesthesia support as needed
  • Participate in emergency, weekend, and holiday coverage as part of a shared rotation
Why This Role Matters
You won’t just be providing care—you’ll be shaping and influencing a comprehensive animal care program. Your expertise will directly impact:
  • Animal welfare and ethical standards
  • Research quality and reliability
  • Team development and training
  • Regulatory compliance and program excellence
What We’re Looking For
  • DVM (or equivalent) from an accredited veterinary school
  • At least 2 years of experience in laboratory animal medicine or a related field
  • Active (or eligible) veterinary license in Massachusetts
  • Strong clinical judgment with the ability to make independent decisions in complex or urgent situations
  • Excellent communication skills and the ability to collaborate across teams
  • A team-oriented mindset with the ability to also work independently
What Sets You Apart
  • Experience in a research or preclinical environment
  • Familiarity with IACUC processes and regulatory frameworks
  • A proactive approach to problem-solving and continuous improvement
  • Passion for mentoring and developing others
We have great benefits too!
  • Medical, Dental, Vision with generous portion paid by employer!
  • Healthcare Reimbursement Arrangement, Flexible Spending Accounts
  • 401(k) with matching
  • Short-term and Long-term Disability, Life Insurance
  • Employee Assistance Program
  • Vacation, Holidays, Sick Days
If you’re looking for a role where your veterinary expertise goes beyond routine care—and contributes to both scientific progress and exceptional animal welfare—we’d love to connect.

At this time, we are not accepting resumes from 3rd party vendors. Thank you
