Qualifications

• Perform routine vivarium duties such as cage care, bedding changes, restocking, and health monitoring.
• Organize dosing, procedures, samples, and health data so the study record is complete and interpretable.
• Provide clear morning handoffs covering completed work, results, issues, samples, and follow-up recommendations.
