The posting

Do you have hands-on experience caring for animals through FFA, 4-H, a veterinary clinic, kennel, grooming salon, boarding facility, farm, shelter, or similar setting? At Altasciences, you can build on those skills while supporting research that contributes to the development of new therapies. No previous laboratory experience is required. We provide structured, hands-on training for individuals who are comfortable working with animals, attentive to their well-being, and eager to learn.

About the Role

As an Animal Research Technician, you will work directly with research animals and support nonclinical/preclinical studies. You will observe animal health and behavior, assist with daily care, perform trained study procedures, collect samples and data, and help ensure animals are treated humanely and respectfully at all times.

What You'll Do

  • Handle and interact with research animals safely, calmly, and humanely.
  • Observe animals closely and report changes in health, behavior, appetite, activity, or overall well-being.
  • Support animal husbandry activities, including feeding, watering, sanitation, enrichment, and maintaining clean animal areas, as needed.
  • Perform study-related procedures in accordance with protocols, SOPs, training, and GLP requirements.
  • Collect biological samples, including blood and urine, after completing required training.
  • Administer test materials and treatments using approved routes and techniques after qualification.
  • Assist with anesthesia, sedation, catheter placement, and other technical procedures after training.
  • Record animal observations, procedures, and study data accurately and on time.
  • Prepare equipment, supplies, and study materials for scheduled procedures.
  • Operate research equipment such as infusion pumps, glucometers, thermometers, and other instruments.
  • Communicate animal observations and study updates to veterinary, animal care, technical, and scientific teams.
  • Participate in cross-training and ongoing skill development across animal research functions.

What You'll Need to Succeed

Required

  • High school diploma or equivalent.
  • Comfort working directly with animals in a hands-on environment.
  • Compassion for animals and a strong commitment to humane care and animal welfare.
  • Ability to notice and communicate changes in animal appearance, behavior, or condition.
  • Ability to follow detailed written procedures and safety requirements.
  • Strong attention to detail and accurate documentation skills.
  • Effective communication, reliability, and teamwork skills.
  • Basic computer proficiency.

Experience That Can Help You Succeed

Previous laboratory or research experience is not required. We welcome applicants with animal care or handling experience gained through:

  • FFA or 4-H animal science, livestock, veterinary science, or related programs.
  • Veterinary clinics, animal hospitals, or veterinary assistant roles.
  • Kennels, boarding facilities, dog daycares, shelters, or rescues.
  • Pet grooming or bathing roles.
  • Farms, stables, livestock operations, or other animal care settings.
  • Animal science, veterinary technology, agriculture, biology, or related coursework.

If you enjoy working with animals and want to turn that experience into a meaningful scientific career, we would love to hear from you!

Why it works

3×

more interviews than doing it yourself with ChatGPT.

ChatGPT writes a CV and never learns what happened to it. We see every reply. For each CV we know:

  • How it was written, and how the review scored it
  • When we applied, and how long after the posting went up
  • Which posting, which company, which city
  • Who got the interview, and who heard nothing

That is how we know which CVs get called.
