Senior Clinical Veterinarian – Mixed Species Research Environment

Location: Denver, Pennsylvania

We know that meaningful veterinary careers are built on both professional challenge and personal support. As a Clinical Veterinarian at our Denver, PA site, you’ll discover a rare opportunity: the chance to work across a truly unique mix of species—nonhuman primates (NHPs), rabbits, poultry, rodents, and even large animal surgical models—while advancing your expertise in laboratory animal medicine. If you’ve ever envisioned a role that blends research impact, clinical variety, and long-term financial stability, this is it.

Why This Role Stands Out

A Mixed-Species Environment Unlike Any Other

Most laboratory animal veterinarians work within a narrow set of species. At our Denver and Texter Mountain campuses, you’ll find something rare: daily engagement with NHPs, rabbits (including large-scale rabbitry operations), poultry, and rodent models—all with opportunities to participate in large animal surgery and the development of innovative surgical models. If you thrive on variety and complexity, this role will continually engage and challenge you.

?Why Join Our Denver, PA Team?

This isn’t just another research site — it’s one of the longest-standing, AAALAC-accredited facilities in the country. For more than 50 years, our Denver campus has set the bar for excellence in laboratory animal care and scientific contribution. As a veterinarian or scientist here, you’ll find the rare mix of history, scale, and opportunity that makes your work both meaningful and far-reaching.

• Be part of a legacy: Step into a site with continuous AAALAC accreditation since 1971 — where high standards are part of the culture, not just the checklist.
• Work beyond the routine: Influence the care and development of diverse research models — from rodents to rabbits — at a USDA-licensed campus built for impact.
• Grow your scope: Expand your role beyond daily care by contributing to antibody production, biospecimen programs, and innovative model services.
• Do work you can trust: Thrive in a setting recognized by USDA, AAALAC, and state regulators for its compliance and commitment to animal welfare.

At Denver, you’ll join a team that values both the science and the people behind it — giving you the chance to do your best work in an environment designed for growth, collaboration, and purpose.

A Career-Saving Student Loan Repayment Program

Veterinary student loan debt can be overwhelming, but we’ve built one of the most generous matching programs in the industry. For veterinarians, we match your student loan payments dollar-for-dollar, up to $1,500 per month ($18,000 annually). That means a total of $36,000 per year goes toward reducing your debt when you combine your payment with ours. With recent changes to the federal Public Service Loan Forgiveness (PSLF) program capping forgiveness at $100,000, our plan ensures you won’t be left with unmanageable debt.

Professional Growth in Action

From advanced continuing education and conferences to opportunities for specialization (ACLAM, surgery, regulatory), you’ll have support at every stage of your career. You won’t just be a veterinarian here—you’ll be a teacher, mentor, and influencer of research standards that impact lives far beyond our campuses.

• Deliver compassionate veterinary care across multiple species.
• Guide and mentor animal care staff while contributing to a strong Culture of Care.
• Participate in designing, refining, and supporting surgical models in our Large Animal Surgical Suite.
• Provide expertise in herd health, biosecurity, preventative medicine, and welfare programs.
• Play a leadership role in IACUC processes, AAALAC accreditation, and regulatory compliance.
• Contribute veterinary expertise to research models that influence global scientific discovery.

What We Offer

• Student Loan Repayment Assistance: Up to $36,000/year applied directly to your debt through our matching program.
• Full benefits package: medical, dental, vision, 401k with employer contribution.
