Scientist, In Vivo Pharmacology (Night Shift)

About the Role

Responsibilities

• Run overnight portions of mouse studies evaluating therapeutic candidates for safety and effectiveness.
• Dose mice using routes such as IP, IV, SC, PO, and intranasal administration in accordance with study designs, protocols, and your training.
• Collect blood and disease-relevant tissues; prepare, label, track, process, and store samples correctly for downstream analysis.
• Perform or support surgeries and specialized in vivo procedures, including EEG surgeries and EEG-study execution where required.
• Monitor study conduct and animal welfare, document observations and deviations, and make or escalate protocol-based decisions during overnight hours.
• Perform routine vivarium duties as needed, including cage care, bedding changes, supply restocking, and animal-health monitoring.
• Organize dosing, procedure, sample, and animal-health data so that the study record is complete and interpretable.
• Provide clear morning handoffs covering completed work, results, issues, samples, and recommended follow-up.

Ideal Qualifications

• Able and willing to work the designated night-shift schedule reliably and operate independently when needed.
• Hands-on experience running mouse studies in biotech, pharma, academia, or a closely related setting.
• Comfort with common dosing routes, animal handling, sample collection, accurate records, and protocol-compliant in vivo execution.
• Experience with surgeries, EEG procedures, intranasal dosing, or other specialized methods is helpful; you do not need experience with every procedure listed.
• Sound judgment, careful attention to animal welfare and data quality, and a habit of documenting and communicating issues early.
• The ability to create clean, useful handoffs for scientists interpreting the study and planning what comes next.
