Pay in the destination countries

Monthly, in US dollars. Each country is an Imora admission package — open one for that route's fees, language requirement and deadline.

What does the day look like?

Your core working schedule is 38 to 40 hours per week, typically Monday to Friday from 08:30 to 17:00. However, experiment schedules frequently require weekend monitoring, early morning animal dosing, or late-night sample collections. Night shifts are rare, but on-call rotas exist for monitoring transgenic animal colonies or bio-containment alarms.

Your day splits into 30% wet lab bench work (tissue sectioning, cell culture, pathogen isolation), 25% bioinformatics and data processing using GraphPad Prism, FlowJo, NCBI BLAST, SnapGene, and R or Python, and 25% scientific writing for grant proposals, research manuscripts, and ethics approvals. Only 15% involves direct animal sampling or post-mortems, while 5% goes to ordering reagents and checking autoclaves. While many imagine spending 80% of their time treating animals in a clinic, in reality under 10% involves live animal contact. The remaining 90% is spent working with pipettes, Class II/III biosafety cabinets, PCR cyclers, and computers.
