Job description

Thank you for considering a career with the Research Foundation of The City University of New York (RFCUNY).
The team at RFCUNY is made up of dedicated, talented professionals committed to providing the services that allow CUNY researchers, faculty, and staff to focus on their intellectual curiosity and scientific discoveries.
We are pleased that you are interested in exploring opportunities to join RFCUNY.
Primary Location:
CUNY-ADVANCED SCIENCE RESEARCH CENTER
Bargaining Unit:
No
The Advanced Science Research Center (ASRC) at CUNY is a dynamic, interdisciplinary research hub where scientists from the life sciences, chemistry, physics, and engineering collaborate to tackle complex challenges in human health and disease. This collaborative environment offers a unique opportunity to contribute to cutting-edge discoveries that translate from the bench to real-world impact.
The Comparative Medicine Unit (CMU) serves as the backbone of ASRC's animal research program, providing expert animal care and technical support to a diverse community of investigators. The CMU is deeply committed to excellence in animal welfare, upholding the highest standards of ethical care, regulatory compliance, and scientific integrity. Our program supports a variety of animal models, including rodents and avian species, offering a stimulating environment for technicians interested in expanding their skills across species.
The Veterinary Technician plays a key, hands-on role within the CMU, combining animal care expertise with active participation in research support. This position involves daily interaction with animals, including health monitoring, husbandry oversight, and procedural assistance, as well as collaboration with researchers on study execution. The role is ideal for a motivated veterinary technician seeking to grow in a research setting, gain exposure to advanced biomedical techniques, and contribute meaningfully to scientific progress. Working closely within a collaborative team environment, the Veterinary Technician will report directly to the CMU Facility Director and the Attending Veterinarian, ensuring alignment with operational priorities, veterinary oversight, and regulatory standards. The successful candidate will be an integral part of a team dedicated to both animal well-being and high-quality research outcomes, ensuring full compliance with institutional policies and federal regulations.
Duties include, but are not limited to:
  • Monitor the health and well-being of animals housed in the vivarium and report any abnormalities to the Veterinarian and CMU Facility Director.
  • Perform routine health checks, administer medications, and assist with veterinary procedures.
  • Assist with euthanasia procedures in accordance with approved protocols and ethical standards.
  • Support sentinel and environmental monitoring programs, including quarterly testing.
  • Administer injections, collect biological samples, and assist with data collection.
  • Provide technical support for users of the rodent behavior core facility.
  • Maintain accurate and up-to-date records of animal health, treatments, and colony management.
  • Ensure compliance with institutional policies and regulatory requirements (IACUC, OLAW, USDA).
  • Assist with implementation and adherence to standard operating procedures (SOPs).
  • Train and support researchers, students, and staff in proper animal handling and procedures.
  • Maintain a clean, safe, and organized vivarium environment.
  • Collaborate with veterinarians, researchers, and facility staff to support research and animal care operations.
  • Perform other duties as assigned.

Qualifications
Minimum Qualifications:
  • Certification as a Veterinary Technician (CVT, LVT).
  • Knowledge of laboratory animal science and animal care practices.
  • Familiarity with applicable regulations and guidelines governing animal research.

Preferred Qualifications:
  • Experience working in a vivarium or research animal facility.
  • Experience in handling and working with rodent models.
  • Experience with avian species preferred, or willingness to learn and become proficient in working with avian models (e.g., Leghorn chickens)

Required Skills:
  • Strong organizational skills and attention to detail.
  • Ability to work independently and collaboratively in a team environment.
  • Effective communication skills.
  • Ability to manage multiple priorities in a fast-paced setting.

Working Conditions
  • Work is performed in a controlled vivarium environment.
  • Use of personal protective equipment (PPE) is required.
  • Exposure to animals, allergens, and biohazard materials may occur.
  • Compliance with institutional safety and biosecurity protocols is required.

Pay Range:
$55,000 - $70,000
