Research Scientist

AbCellera is an energetic, and rapidly growing technology company with an amazing team that searches, decodes, and analyzes natural immune systems to find antibodies that can be developed into drugs to prevent and treat disease. Working at the interface of biology, chemistry, computation, and engineering, AbCellera is rebuilding the front-end process of drug discovery with a platform that integrates modern technologies from biotechnology, engineering, microfluidics, single-cell analysis, high-throughput genomics, machine learning, and hyper-scale data science.

We're offering a generous compensation package including an equity stake in AbCellera's success. Our facilities are nestled in the heart of beautiful Vancouver, Canada, and we will enthusiastically support you and your family to relocate to this amazing area

**How you might spend your days**:

- Providing technical leadership in antibody characterization, developability and manufacturability
- Supporting antibody production and quality control with analytical characterization tools including chromatography (UHPLC), capillary electrophoresis (CE-SDS), and light scattering (DLS, MALS)
- Training and mentoring members of a rapidly growing, dynamic team
- Liaising with partners, upstream and downstream teams, and communicating project updates and deliverables
- Developing new and cutting edge workflows for analytical and biophysical screening of antibody properties
- Organizing, supporting, and collaborating with team members to meet project deliverables and timelines

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

- You are a creative problem solver and fast learner who believes in team work to tackle the most challenging scientific problems
- You are self-motivated and have the initiative and drive to meet goals under tight project timelines
- You think critically, are curious and want to explore new technologies and opportunities to improve antibody characterization workflow and process

**Required qualifications and experience**:

- In-depth understanding of antibody sequences and structure, as well as common modifications and degradation mechanisms
- Demonstrated expertise in biophysical characterization of antibodies or other protein therapeutics using analytical chromatography, capillary electrophoresis, isoelectric focusing, light scattering, differential scanning fluorimetry, or related techniques
- Comfort with electronic lab notebook environments, and laboratory information and inventory management systems
- Strong interpersonal skills with the ability to work collaboratively as a member of a cross-functional team
- Impeccable attention to detail, excellent communication, documentation and technical writing skills
- Excellent decision-making, and troubleshooting skills
- Familiarity with antibody binding and other mechanistic data from SPR or related technologies is an advantage

**What we offer**:
A generous compensation package including an equity stake in AbCellera's success. Our headquarters are nestled in the heart of Vancouver, Canada - we'll support you and your family in every way we can to relocate if you haven't had the joy of living in this beautiful area

**About AbCellera**:
At AbCellera, we're solving tough problems and creating innovative solutions from the ground up - custom immunizations, microfluidics, high-throughput imaging, genomics, computation, machine learning and laboratory automation. We're revolutionizing how our scientists can explore antibodies and the scale at which they can do so. This is life-changing research and you could be a part of it.

You'll join a diverse and multi-disciplinary team of biologists, biochemists, engineers, bioinformaticians, computer scientists and physicists - all working together to bring better therapies to patients. We're a growing company with a high-throughput pipeline and the drive to be the best in the industry. This isn't just about having the best technology. We know we need a world-class team of visionaries and innovators. 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. We're looking for someone like you to help us get there.
