Senior Scientist I
Not Disclosed•Full-TimeOn-site
location_onWyman Street, Waltham, Middlesex County, Massachusetts, 02451, United States
About the Role
We are seeking a motivated scientist to support the late-stage process development of Antibody-Drug-Conjugates (ADCs) and other emerging conjugation modalities. This role is critical to advancing AbbVie's development pipeline, with work directly supporting process characterization, commercialization, and regulatory submissions for ADC therapies.
In this position, you will independently design and execute conjugation experiments, manage downstream operations such as Tangential Flow Filtration (TFF) purifications, and analyze experimental results. You will operate at scales ranging from milliliter reactions up to 10L reactors, ensuring a deep understanding of scale dependence in chemical reactions and engineering factors. The role requires a high degree of productivity in the lab, where you will interpret key experiments to answer complex scientific questions.
ADC development is inherently interdisciplinary. You will collaborate closely with managers, key stakeholders, analytical chemists, process chemists, and manufacturing personnel. Success in this role demands the ability to quickly learn adjacent development areas to understand how they interface with conjugation process development. You will also serve as a subject matter expert, documenting results via electronic laboratory notebooks and technical reports, while mentoring junior scientists in the lab.
Culture and Compliance
We foster a collaborative, multi-disciplinary environment where safety and integrity are paramount. As a member of our team, you will adhere to corporate standards regarding the code of conduct, safety protocols, and GXP compliance, ensuring that all scientific work meets the highest regulatory and ethical standards.
