Scientist I, Automation

Role: Scientist I in assay development and workflow automation within AbbVie's Molecular Profiling and Drug Delivery (MPDD) team, focusing on early-stage drug discovery and developability assessment. Responsibilities: develop and optimize analytical chemistry workflows, particularly HPLC–MS, for profiling physicochemical properties; support preclinical formulation screening; advance automated platforms for emerging modalities like PROTACs and peptides; collaborate cross-functionally to integrate data and improve throughput for pipeline progression. Requirements: Bachelor's or Master’s in Pharmaceutical Sciences, Chemistry, Biomedical Engineering, or related; 2–5 years’ industry experience; strong hands-on expertise in HPLC–MS, assay development, automation, and physicochemical characterization; familiarity with preclinical formulation strategies; data analysis and informatics collaboration skills. High-Value: focus on biopharmaceutical developability, early formulation, small molecules, complex modalities, and integrated workflows to accelerate drug candidate progression. Work setup: unspecified; likely in a collaborative research environment.
