About The Position
The Quantitative, Translational ADME Sciences (QTAS) department at AbbVie is seeking a highly motivated scientist to join the Biologics bioanalysis, characterization, and proteomics group. The main function of this position is to develop and implement LC/MS (liquid chromatography/mass spectrometry)-based bioanalysis and in vitro characterization assays of novel biologics entities. The successful candidate will be experienced in the optimization and implementation of novel and routine LC/MS-based bioanalytical methods to drive in vivo PK, TK, and PK/PD analysis as well as in vitro stability characterization of biotherapeutics. The candidate will be responsible for sample preparation, method development, bioanalytical assay operations, data analysis, report generation, and data presentation.
Requirements
- Bachelor’s Degree or equivalent education and typically 10 years of experience, Master’s Degree or equivalent education and typically 8 years of experience, PhD and no experience necessary.
- Highly motivated, self-driven and results-oriented with excellent communication and presentation skills; capable of working both as team player and individual contributor.
