About BioLegacy Research

BioLegacy Research is a leading preclinical research organization dedicated to advancing innovative therapies through high-quality in vivo and translational research services. Our team partners with biotech and pharmaceutical companies to accelerate the development of life-changing treatments across a range of therapeutic areas. At BioLegacy, we foster a collaborative, science-driven environment where employees are empowered to learn, grow, and contribute to cutting-edge research.

Job Overview

BioLegacy Research is seeking motivated and detail-oriented In Vivo Research Associates (Level I or II) to support preclinical animal studies. These roles are hands-on and primarily focused on in vivo work with laboratory animals (rodents).

This is not a bench-based or in vitro-focused role. Candidates must be comfortable performing animal procedures and working in a fast-paced preclinical environment.

Research Associates will contribute to study execution, including dosing, animal monitoring, sample collection, and data recording, while ensuring compliance with study protocols and regulatory standards.

Key Responsibilities

Perform in vivo dosing procedures (e.g., oral gavage, subcutaneous, intravenous, intraperitoneal)

Handle, restrain, and monitor laboratory animals

Observe and record animal health, clinical signs, and study data

Collect biological samples (e.g., blood, tissues)

Support or perform necropsy and tissue collection

Prepare dosing solutions, study materials, and procedure areas

Maintain accurate and timely documentation in compliance with GLP and SOPs

Follow all IACUC and animal welfare guidelines

Collaborate with cross-functional study teams

Maintain a clean, organized, and compliant work environment

Additional Responsibilities for RA II:

Execute studies with greater independence and minimal supervision

Perform more advanced procedures (e.g., IV dosing, complex sample collection)

Assist in training junior staff (Technicians, RA I)

Support study coordination and troubleshoot routine study issues

Contribute to protocol adherence and process improvements

Qualifications

Bachelor’s degree in Biology, Animal Science, or related life sciences field (preferred), OR

Associate’s degree with relevant hands-on experience

Research Associate I (Entry-Level / Early Career)

0–2 years of relevant experience in in vivo animal research or related setting

Basic knowledge or exposure to animal handling and preclinical studies

Willingness to learn in vivo techniques (dosing, sample collection, necropsy support)

Works under close supervision

Research Associate II (Intermediate Level)

2–4+ years of hands-on in vivo experience in a research or preclinical setting

Demonstrated proficiency in rodent handling, dosing, and sample collection

Experience with multiple dosing routes (e.g., PO, SC, IP, IV preferred)

Ability to work independently and manage routine study tasks

Prior experience supporting GLP studies or regulated environments preferred

Required / Core Competencies

Strong attention to detail and documentation accuracy

Ability to follow protocols and work in a regulated environment

Team-oriented with good communication skills

Comfortable working with laboratory animals

Not a Fit For Candidates With Only:

Cell culture or in vitro laboratory experience

Molecular biology techniques (PCR, ELISA, Western blot) without animal work

Bench-only research backgrounds

Why BioLegacy Research?

At BioLegacy Research, we are committed to supporting our employees’ professional growth and advancement within preclinical research.

Our Benefits Include:

Medical, Dental, and Vision insurance with employer contributions

Health Savings Account (HSA) or Flexible Spending Accounts (FSA)

401(k) plan with employer match

Employer-paid life and disability insurance

Employee Assistance Program (EAP)

Paid time off and tuition reimbursement
