Posting Detail Information
Position Summary The Laboratory Animal Facilities at the University at Buffalo is is looking for a NYS licensed veterinary technician to join our team.

The regular work week is Monday-Friday, 8 hour shifts, with shared weekend and holiday hours required.

Typical job duties for this position:
  • Patient care for a variety of species, including daily treatments
  • Assisting veterinarians with exams and diagnostic testing
  • Maintaining medical and other relevant records
  • Teaching students in small, hands-on classes on topics such as handling, how to administer injections, and anesthesia
  • Corresponding via email with researchers
  • Assisting researchers with scheduled projects
