Clinical Veterinarian – Opportunity in Laboratory Animal Medicine

Location: Indianapolis, IN ( Advanced Rodent Surgical Research Facilities)

Travel: Required to other Indiana sites; optional out-of-state travel opportunities

Are you a companion animal veterinarian or an early-career laboratory animal vet seeking a meaningful, mission-driven role? At our  Indianapolis research hubs, you’ll join a passionate team working at the intersection of animal care and scientific advancement.

Our two advanced rodent surgical units in Indianapolis are integral to our nationwide network. These state-of-the-art facilities specialize in surgically modified rodent models that support cutting-edge biomedical research. As a Clinical Veterinarian, you’ll play a critical role in upholding our high standards of animal care, ensuring regulatory compliance, and guiding research that shapes the future of human and animal health.

This is more than a job—it’s an opportunity to transition into or grow within laboratory animal medicine while working with expert teams and contributing to research that matters.

 What You’ll Do:

• Deliver high-quality veterinary care for rodent colonies in specialized surgical environments.
• Support the welfare and biosecurity of animals used in preclinical research, including during post-op recovery and life-cycle monitoring.
• Train and mentor technicians and animal care staff in clinical care, anesthesia, and humane handling.
• Collaborate across departments to support the 3Rs (Replacement, Reduction, Refinement) and foster a "Culture of Care."
• Liaise with the IACUC, Attending Veterinarian, and Institutional Officials to ensure compliance and proactive animal health reporting.
• Provide emergency veterinary care (after-hours/weekend/holiday) on a rotating schedule.
• Contribute veterinary oversight to new surgical model development and provide guidance on best practices in perioperative care.
• Participate in internal audits, AAALAC site visits, and regulatory inspections.
• Offer veterinary support and guidance on animal procurement, transportation, nutrition, behavior, and environmental enrichment.
• Travel to other our sites across Indiana with occasional out-of-state opportunities.
