Vancouver, Canada AbCellera Biologics Full time

AbCellera is breaking the barriers of conventional drug development to propel antibody-based medicines from target to clinic. We are a team of scientists, engineers, creatives, and business professionals who believe that advancing science enhances lives. We have developed technologies to unlock high-value drug targets, including antibody-drug conjugates and T-cell engagers for cancer, and complex transmembrane proteins for indications such as metabolic and endocrine conditions, pain, and autoimmunity.

We are seeking a highly motivated Upstream Scientist to join the Manufacturing, Science & Technology team. In this role, based in beautiful Vancouver, Canada, you will focus on implementing and operationalizing a 200L scale pilot manufacturing facility to generate materials or CMC development, including providing high quality representative material for regulatory submission enabling GLP toxicology studies. You will also play a key role in technology transfer and scale-up to enable successful antibody production from the bench to manufacturing scale.

**How you might spend your days**
- Operating single-use bioreactors and mixers to manufacture therapeutic antibodies, bispecifics, and other related biologics at scales of up to 200L
- Working closely with process development, manufacturing, and other functions within Technical Operations to determine process parameters, scale-up and best practices for 200L scale manufacturing
- Authoring SOPs, technical reports, batch records, and technology transfer documents
- Providing a science-based approach for the evaluation and testing of new technologies to reduce cost of goods and streamline process development and manufacturing
- Contributing to facility readiness and start-up activities, as well as batch readiness and operational support
- Partnering closely with other stakeholders to enable technology transfers and scale-up to GMP manufacturing
- Championing high safety standards within the pilot plant
- Analyzing and interpreting data to support scientific decision making

**We’d love to hear from you if you**:

- Are a capable cell culture and upstream processing scientist, with hands-on experience operating bioreactors and utilizing single-use technologies
- Have experience in mammalian cell culture, growth media preparation, scale-up and upstream operations to support robust processes for the expression of recombinant monoclonal and bispecific antibodies, at scales of up to 200L

**Required qualifications and experience**:

- 5+ years of industrial experience in process development, manufacturing, and/or MSAT
- Bachelor's degree in biotechnology, chemical/biochemical engineering, or another relevant life-science discipline
- Hands-on experience in mammalian cell culture and the operation of bioreactors. Experience using single-use technologies is an advantage
- Expertise in cell culture metrics, including agitation, viable cell density, metabolite consumption rates, pH, dissolved oxygen, and media and feed composition and strategy
- Experience in scale-up, technology transfer, batch documentation, data analysis and data management
- Demonstrated experience in batch production is desirable
- Experience in manufacturing monoclonal and/or bispecific antibodies is an asset

**What we offer**:
AbCellera’s hiring range for this role is $75,200 - $94,000 CAD annually, commensurate with your education and job-related knowledge, skills, and experience. In addition to base salary, we offer equity, an annual bonus dependent on team and company performance, and a 6% (non-match) RRSP contribution.

We have a number of ways to support AbCellerites in maximizing their work-life synergy. You will have a $1,500 annual Active Lifestyle Allowance, annual vacation, the opportunity for flexible work arrangements, professional development opportunities, and comprehensive health benefits. Scientific and technical mentorship is a priority. And you’ll find abundant teams and social groups to build community and connections across AbCellera.
