Registered Veterinary Technician

Veterinary Medicine     ·     Alameda, CA     ·    Full time

Science is an early stage company developing technologies for a range of serious unmet medical needs. We are unafraid to take difficult technical risks, secure in the knowledge that with a clear understanding of what we are doing and with support from powerful modern tools, more progress is possible than might be immediately obvious. Regardless of role or team, the two most important factors we look for in a candidate are evidence of exceptional ability and the addition of positive energy to the group. As a small, very early stage team in a largely unstructured environment, the ability to independently orient yourself to the problems that need to be solved and then follow through is essential.

We are looking for a talented Registered Veterinary Technician with laboratory animal research experience. Candidates can look forward to helping set up and scale a focused research program in collaboration with a world-class team of scientists and engineers with diverse technical backgrounds. As a very early-stage company, we are looking for candidates who want to have a significant impact on the company’s progress with the opportunity for growth.

Role responsibilities:

• In collaboration with the Attending Veterinarian, handle the day to day veterinary care for our animals across a range of species.
• Work with the IACUC as needed to develop protocols, answer questions, and investigate concerns as they arise.
• Mentor and manage husbandry staff.

Key qualifications:

• Current Registered Veterinary Technician (RVT) certification.
• At least 3 years of professional experience in the research laboratory animal medicine setting.
• Evidence of exceptional judgment and trustworthiness.
• Excellent written and oral communication skills.

Preferred qualifications: 

• Current Laboratory Animal Technologist (LATG) certification.
• Experience with modern surgical procedures for medical device development in both rodents and USDA covered species.
