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 looking for a highly motivated Scientist to join our Analytical Development team and contribute to the development of platform analytical methods for use across the analytical functions in Process Development. This will include both the development and qualification of analytical methods. You will help to establish both highly resolving methods to support QC lot release as well as high throughput methods to support process development activities.

**How you might spend your days**
- Supporting analytical method development, qualification, and transfer across a range of technologies (LC, CE, UV-Vis, etc)
- Developing new analytical methods in support of release testing and product characterization
- Performing routine analyses of samples in support of monoclonal antibody process development
- Generating high quality data in support of method development, qualification, and product characterization
- Aggregating and presenting analytical data to stakeholders across CMC and Discovery teams
- Researching and evaluating technological advances in the field of analytical chemistry

**We’d love to hear from you if**
- You have a B.Sc. in Analytical Chemistry, Biochemistry or related discipline with 2-5 years of experience or an M.Sc. and 2 years of experience
- You have experience working in areas of therapeutic protein characterization in either academia or industry
- You have proven technical ability to execute and troubleshoot experiments through rational and critical thinking
- You are highly organized with the ability to multitask in order to meet critical timelines
- You are familiar with electronic lab notebooks (Ex. Benchling), experimental data capture, and the associated 21 CFR part 11 compliance requirements
- You are an outstanding communicator, team player, and relationship builder, with a demonstrated ability to build, lead, and mentor a high-performing team
- You continue to be inspired by working with teammates and partners to bring innovative medicines to patients, and are known for your attention to detail, timelines and creative thinking

**What we offer**

AbCellera’s hiring range for this role is CAD $60,500 - $75,600 annually, commensurate with your education and job-related knowledge, skills, and experience. In addition to base salary, we offer equity, annual bonus dependent on team and company performance, and a 6% (non-match) RRSP contribution.

You will have a CAD $1,500 annual Active Lifestyle Allowance, annual vacation, professional development opportunities, and comprehensive health benefits. Scientific and technical mentorship is a priority. And you’ll find we prioritize teams and social groups to build community and connections across AbCellera.

**About AbCellera**

AbCellera is a global company that discovers and develops antibody-based medicines that help people live longer, happier, and more productive lives. We are focused on bringing innovative medicines to patients, both by advancing our internal pipeline of programs and partnering with companies that have novel science or innovative technology.

And it all starts with our team. We’ve built a place where people feel they are part of something bigger than themselves. A place that exists to push the limits of science and technology, and aims to bring better therapies to patients.

We look for people with drive and energy. Idealists. People we love and people we trust. This may be unconventional, but it is the key to our success.
