Job description

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.
What You Bring:
  • DVM or equivalent degree; eligibility for Indiana veterinary licensure, DEA registration, and USDA Category 2 Accreditation.
  • Experience in clinical veterinary care (companion animal, lab animal, or mixed practice welcome).
  • Curiosity and passion for laboratory animal medicine, animal ethics, welfare science, or health monitoring.
  • Ability to effectively communicate across interdisciplinary teams and regulatory bodies.
  • Detail-oriented approach to clinical documentation, compliance, and care protocols.
  • Strong organizational skills, with a collaborative and proactive mindset.
Preferred (but not required):
  • Experience in rodent surgery, anesthesia, or animal production.
  • Participation in regulatory or accreditation audits.
  • Prior teaching or mentorship experience in a veterinary or technical setting.
  • ACLAM board eligibility or certification (We support career progression and board preparation).

Why Join Us?
Our Indianapolis surgical research facilities are more than just labs-they're hubs of scientific excellence, technical innovation, and compassionate care. From developing complex rodent surgical models to providing top-tier animal care, you'll be contributing directly to preclinical research that impacts real-world therapies. Our organization values its people, and we are committed to helping veterinarians grow through education, mentorship, and career development opportunities.
Whether you're entering lab animal medicine or advancing your clinical career in a new direction, we'll help you build a future that supports science, animal welfare, and personal growth.
