Job Description
**The job details are as follows:**
**Who we are**
We are the first publicly-traded biotech or pharmaceutical company to take the form of a public benefit corporation. Our public benefit purpose is to provide a brighter future for patients through the development of novel pharmaceutical therapies; and technologies that expand the availability of transplantable organs.
United Therapeutics (Nasdaq: UTHR) seeks to travel down the corridors of indifference to develop treatments for rare, deadly diseases. We were founded in 1996 by a family seeking a cure for their daughter's pulmonary arterial hypertension (PAH). Today, we have six FDA-approved therapies that treat PAH, pulmonary hypertension associated with interstitial lung disease (PH-ILD) and neuroblastoma, a rare pediatric cancer. Our near-term pipeline seeks to develop additional therapies for PAH and pulmonary fibrosis (PF).
The cure for end-stage life-threatening diseases like PAH, PH-ILD, PF, and many others is an organ transplant, but only a small percentage of donated organs are available to address the vast need. For this reason, we are working to create manufactured organs to address the shortage of kidneys, hearts, lungs, and livers available for transplant. We believe an unlimited supply of tolerable, transplantable organs will eliminate the transplant waiting list and cure end-stage organ diseases for which transplant is not currently an option.
**Who you are**
Are you a veterinarian with experience working with large animals? Do you want to be part of a collaborative team working in xenotransplantation?
The Research Veterinarian will provide veterinary care for pigs in a designated pathogen free (DPF) facility. This role plays a critical part in the performance of all veterinary procedures (survival and non-surgeries, sample collection and necropsies) for the xenotransplantation program. The Veterinarian will provide routine veterinary care as well as preventive medical care, medical nursing, and euthanasia of the USDA covered species in addition to maintaining the animal health records.
**Minimum Requirements**
+ Doctor of Veterinary Medicine (DVM) from an accredited university, preferably with a specialty focus on large animal care
+ 5+ years of experience working in a veterinary practice or related academic field
+ 3+ years of experience providing large animal veterinary care with preference toward porcine
+ 3+ years of experience following IACUC and research protocols and working with controlled substances
+ 3+ years of experience performing medical tests, observing behaviors, collecting samples, and administering medications to large animals
+ License to Practice Veterinary Medicine in the state where you will be employed at the DPF, USDA Level II Accreditation, Eligible for DEA License
+ Proficient in surgical skills and able to perform abdominal and general surgery
+ Must not have interactions with pigs outside of the company
+ Physical Demands:
+ Lift 75 lbs to waist level
+ Push/Pull 200 lbs on wheels
**Job Location & Travel**
This position will initially be located remotely while the site is under construction, but will eventually be a fully onsite role at the Stewartville, MN location. This position will require travel around 25% in the first year, and have a longer term travel expectation of up to 10%. Relocation assistance is available for non-local candidates.
At United Therapeutics, our mission and vision are one. We use our enthusiasm, creativity, and persistence to innovate for the unmet medical needs of our patients and to benefit our other stakeholders. We are bold and unconventional. We have fun, we do good.
Eligible employees may participate in the Company's comprehensive benefits suite of programs, including medical / dental / vision / prescription coverage, employee wellness resources, savings plans (401k and ESPP), paid time off & paid parental leave benefits, disability benefits, and more.
