  • Executing a variety of established protocols for high-throughput and larger scale recombinant antibody expression
  • Designing and troubleshooting complex experiments aimed at answering key scientific questions
  • Developing and refining protocols to ensure reproducibility and accuracy in experimental results
  • Operating and maintaining automation robots and lab instruments
  • Collaborating closely with a multidisciplinary team to meet project deliverables and timelines

We'd love to hear from you if

  • You are enrolled in a BSc or MSc program in a relevant field, such as Cell Biology, Life Sciences, Molecular Biology, or Biochemistry
  • You have impeccable attention to detail, and take pride in everything you do
  • You are self-motivated and a fast learner who has the initiative and drive to meet goals under tight project timelines
  • You have excellent documentation, organizational and communication skills
  • You thrive in collaborative working environments, valuing teamwork and open communication, fostering a shared sense of purpose

What We Offer

AbCellera’s hiring range for this role is CAD $3,300 - $3,700 per month, commensurate with your education and job-related knowledge, skills, and experience. In addition to base pay, we offer a number of ways to support AbCellerites in maximizing their work-life synergy. You will have a vacation allowance as well as additional days off as part of our company-wide office closures (a real value to all), and sick leave time while on your internship. Scientific and technical mentorship is a priority. And you’ll find we prioritize teams and social groups to build community and connections across AbCellera.
