Research Assistant (Internship)-Translational Pharmacology Unit

Focus: Animal Husbandry (50%) | Research Support (50%)
(RCULA certification preferred / to be obtained during internship)

Role Overview

This Research Assistant Internship is designed for students seeking foundational exposure to preclinical research and laboratory animal science within a regulated research environment.

The intern will be embedded within the Animal Facility (AF), where animal husbandry and facility operations serve as a learning platform to understand how high‑quality animal care underpins reproducible in vivo research. Under close supervision, the intern will be introduced to basic in vivo research support activities, documentation practices, and compliance requirements.

Given the short internship duration, this role places emphasis on learning, observation, and assisted execution rather than independent or advanced experimental work, while providing hands‑on exposure to animal facility operations, animal welfare practices, and preclinical research support.

Job Scope:

• Support daily animal care, welfare observations, and basic facility operations under guidance.
• Maintain accurate husbandry, task, and basic inventory records.
• Observe and assist in routine in vivo research procedures under supervision.
• Provide preparatory and post‑procedure support for ongoing studies, appropriate to training level.
• Learn how study protocols, documentation, and facility operations support preclinical research.

Requirements

• Interest in laboratory animal care, biomedical research, or life sciences
• Willingness to perform hands‑on husbandry and cleaning tasks
• Ability to follow SOPs and maintain accurate records
• Good teamwork and communication skills.
• Responsible, detail‑oriented, and safety‑conscious
• Comfortable working with animals (mice and rabbits)

Preferred Attributes

• Currently pursuing or recently completed a Bachelor's degree in Life Sciences, Biomedical Science, or related fields.
• RCULA certification (or willingness to obtain during internship)
• Prior exposure to animal facilities or laboratory environments
• Detail-oriented with a strong sense of curiosity and critical thinking.

What You Will Gain

• Practical experience in laboratory animal husbandry and welfare
• Exposure to regulated research environments and compliance practices
• Hands‑on support in preclinical research procedures
• Training in SOPs, facility operations, and quality documentation
• Mentorship from experienced animal facility and research staff

Fresh graduates with keen interest in in-vivo pharmacology are welcome to apply.
