Clinical Veterinarian II
Veterinarian job at RPM International
Job Description
Clinical Veterinarian (Nonhuman Primates)
Why this role is unique
Hands-on with primates in naturalistic settings. You'll work outdoors much of the time, caring for healthy, social groups in farm-style colonies-rare in lab animal medicine.
Variety across two complementary sites.
Hampton: closed breeding colony (~3,500 NHPs); sole focus is animal health and breeding.
Yemassee: open colony with CDC quarantine and ~500 animals on study, primarily infectious disease (HIV/SHIV), vaccine, PK/PD, and limited surgical work.
Team-first culture. Tight-knit veterinary and technical teams where “it takes a village” isn't just a saying-it's how work gets done.
Growth & mentorship. Senior veterinarians on staff, strong training for techs, and room to specialize (e.g., imaging or procedures that can become a site capability).
Balanced on-call. Weekend/holiday rotation is shared; true emergencies requiring site visits have been rare.
What you'll do
Provide preventive, clinical, surgical, and emergency care for rhesus, cynomolgus, and capuchin monkeys.
Oversee colony health programs, enrichment, and welfare-including physicals, health surveillance, and gross necropsy.
Mentor and train vet techs in hands-on procedures and clinical reasoning.
Support contract research studies at Yemassee; partner with client representatives when needed.
Participate in IACUC protocol review and accreditation preparation.
Maintain accurate medical records, SOP compliance, and contribute to ongoing program development.
Who we're looking for
DVM/VMD (AVMA-accredited) with eligibility for South Carolina licensure (within 60 days) and DEA registration.
3-5+ years of lab animal or NHP experience preferred; residents/new grads with strong primate rotations will be considered.
ACLAM eligibility or diplomate status highly valued.
A veterinarian who thrives outdoors, adapts well to dynamic situations, and enjoys being part of a close, collaborative team.
Someone with the heart of a teacher-committed to coaching vet techs and animal care staff.
Living here
Moving to Hampton/Yemassee means access to some of the Lowcountry's most desirable communities:
Charleston (1 hr) - historic charm, arts, food, and a vibrant cultural scene.
Beaufort (30-40 min) - a walkable waterfront town with antebellum architecture and strong schools.
Bluffton & Hilton Head (45 min) - suburban convenience or resort-style island living, with beaches, golf, and family-friendly neighborhoods.
Walterboro (20-30 min) - the most affordable option, offering small-town community and good value.
Cost of living: Slightly below U.S. averages, with more space for your money and family-friendly childcare options.
Schools & healthcare: Served by Beaufort County School District (arts, athletics, and international programs) and anchored by MUSC in Charleston, Beaufort Memorial, and Hilton Head Hospital.
Lifestyle: Kayaking, boating, historic festivals, fresh seafood, and year-round outdoor recreation-from Hilton Head beaches to Charleston's Spoleto Festival.
Training & career growth
Structured AALAS certification support (materials, incentives).
Opportunities to expand clinical specialties (e.g., ultrasound, advanced imaging).
Ongoing growth and new projects mean genuine pathways to increased responsibility and leadership.
Compensation & benefits
Competitive salary and bonus potential.
Comprehensive benefits: medical, dental, vision, retirement.
Paid time off, CE/licensing/dues support.
