Job description

About Neion Bio
Neion Bio is harnessing nature's best molecular factory, the chicken egg, to make medicine affordable, accessible, and resilient. We turn farms into medicine factories using cutting edge genetic engineering and stem cell technology. These "living bioreactors" are fully autonomous 3D biomolecular printers that operate on existing industrial-scale infrastructure. Our platform can rapidly and scalably produce almost any protein, provide national resilience to drug shortages and de-risk complex supply chains, and ultimately take advantage of novel biological environments to solve unmet medical needs. Biomanufacturing, reinvented. Medicine, democratized.
Role Summary
We are seeking an adaptable and organized caretaker/technician/associate who is motivated by the ethical care of animals and will contribute to the growth of Neion's research program. This role involves hands-on care and handling of chickens and quail throughout their lifecycle, with a focus on reproductive biology in poultry, including AI, hatching and breeding, as well as additional aspects of avian veterinary care for chickens and quail.
Key Responsibilities
  • Aviculture: Must be comfortable safely handling chickens in a research setting. Requires working with small flocks at all stages of development from egg collection, incubation and the successful hatching and growth of chicks and chickens
  • Avian Breeding (Poultry): Artificial insemination, natural cover breeding, cryopreservation of semen, egg collection, incubation, hatching, sexing, and genotyping.
  • Veterinary Care: Carry out procedures, for example: safely restrain and perform venipuncture, collect and process samples, and ensure lab delivery, and provide preventative and interventional care.
  • Biosecurity: Must be comfortable showering into the facility, and working in full Personal Protective Equipment (PPE) and observing strict standard operating protocols (SOPs) to protect avian health
  • Culture of Care: Contribute to ensuring the health and environmental, nutritional and social enrichment of our flocks
  • Record Keeping: Maintain timely and accurate animal records
  • Regulatory Compliance: Help to ensure that research areas and records meet and exceed IACUC inspection compliance

Why Neion Bio?

At Neion Bio you will play a pivotal role in an early-stage, fast-growing company, working alongside leading scientists and entrepreneurs. You will have the opportunity to participate in the enormous potential upside while having a huge impact on the world.
This is a rare opportunity to work at the center of a highly ambitious biotechnology company and help build the operating foundation for a new category of medicine manufacturing.
Requirements
  • 4+ years experience providing hands-on animal care in a research, small animal clinical, farm or zoological setting is critical, including direct hands-on avian experience
  • Prior experience doing artificial insemination and cryopreservation of semen, as well incubating and hatching eggs and raising chickens
  • Undergraduate or an associate degree in biological sciences or related fields, or equivalent industry experience
  • Extreme attention to detail is critical, as well as strict compliance with SOPs and are followed and documented
  • Ability to operate with quiet confidence and competence, individually and as part of a team to promote a culture of care
