What You Will Do Develop, review, and implement study protocols, work instructions, SOPs, technical reports, timelines, staffing plans, collection schedules, and operational workflows. Evaluate study feasibility, technical risks, resource needs, animal welfare considerations, equipment, facilities, supplies, and training before study initiation. Direct laboratory workflow and provide technical oversight for animal handling, restraint, dosing, observations, body weights, sample collection, recovery monitoring, and authorized study procedures. Coordinate animal receipt, quarantine, acclimation, assignment, housing, study scheduling, and disposition with veterinary, animal care, and scientific teams. Develop and oversee plans for blood, plasma, serum, cerebrospinal fluid, urine, feces, tissues, biopsies, swabs, and other biological samples, including processing, labeling, preservation, stabilization, and reconciliation. Maintain complete sample traceability through collection, processing, storage, shipment, analysis, retention, transfer, and final disposition; investigate discrepancies, temperature excursions, labeling errors, and deviations. Manage ambient, refrigerated, frozen, ultra-low-temperature, and liquid-nitrogen storage systems, alarms, inventories, maintenance, backup plans, and emergency sample relocation. Coordinate domestic and international shipments of biological samples, research materials, and study supplies in compliance with IATA, DOT, carrier, biosafety, customs, and institutional requirements. Prepare and review manifests, chain-of-custody forms, commercial invoices, customs declarations, permits, health documentation, and receiving instructions; work with couriers, customs brokers, government agencies, sponsors, and overseas collaborators.
