Project:<\/strong>
For our customer a large pharmaceutical company based in Basel, we are looking for a Scientist, Mouse Genetics and Outsourced breeding management.<\/p>\n

The Perfect Candidate: The ideal candidate has the technical expertise required to generate and validate sophisticated transgenic models. He acts as a dedicated advocate for the 3Rs, optimizing breeding colonies to ensure genetic stability and animal welfare while maintaining rigorous standards for nomenclature and molecular data. Ultimately, this individual bridges the gap between complex vivarium operations and therapeutic innovation, translating genetic blueprints into reliable, well-characterized experimental cohorts.<\/p>\n

Tasks & Responsibilities:<\/strong>
\u25cf Provide high-level oversight of external Contract Research Organizations (CROs) and internal breeding facilities to ensure operational excellence.
\u25cf Develop and implement optimized breeding strategies (with focus on quality, timelines and costs) to maintain genetic stability while minimizing surplus animals, aligning with the 3Rs (Replacement, Reduction, Refinement).
\u25cf Serve as the primary point of contact for external vivarium managers, troubleshooting issues related to phenotype drift, or health status etc.
\u25cf Act as internal expert for the generation of new mouse lines using cutting-edge techniques.
\u25cf Define and standardize the official nomenclature for all newly generated lines in accordance with MGI (Mouse Genome Informatics) and International Committee guidelines.
\u25cf Maintain meticulous records of genotypes and molecular validation data (e.g., NGS, Southern Blot, qPCR).
\u25cf Monitor the health and welfare of experimental cohorts, defining ?humane endpoints? and overseeing the assessment of unexpected phenotypes in new transgenic lines.
\u25cf Develop and implement standards in housing and care of contract bred animals at external partners.
\u25cf Collaborate with therapeutic area experts to provide initial phenotypic characterization and validation of model utility.<\/p>\n

Must Haves:<\/strong>
\u25cf PhD in Genetics, Molecular Biology, Biotechnology, or a related field.
\u25cf Minimum 3+ years of hands-on experience in mouse genetics and colony management.
\u25cf Proven track record of generating mouse models.
\u25cf Strong project management skills; ability to manage multiple external vendor Relationships.
\u25cf Regulatory: Familiarity with FELASA guidelines and animal welfare legislation.
\u25cf Fluent written and verbal communications skills in English, German nice to have.<\/p>\n
