For the Biologics Analytical PDS&T Department in Development Sciences at AbbVie’s Ludwigshafen site, we are seeking a lab scientist focused on the mass spectrometric characterization of biologics (mAbs, ADCs etc.) with high personal and project responsibility. This is an excellent opportunity to join our motivated and dynamic team for an experienced scientist with a deep understanding of the relevant software and instrumentation.

Further develop your expertise and join our team as Scientist II (all genders) Mass Spectrometry – characterization of therapeutical proteins (permanent / fulltime).

This means:

• Independently design, execute and interpret critical MS characterization of proteins to answer scientific questions
• Modify experimental plans when required, to respond, learn, understand, and master new experimental techniques and protocols, and act as a resource or mentor for others
• Support our pipeline projects by mass spectrometric analyses in MS-peptide mapping and intact mode
• Set and meet experimental timelines
• Effectively organize and present scientific plans and data
• Routinely read and apply relevant scientific literature and impact projects through lab-based activities where applicable
• Contribute to conceptual framework and writing of publications, presentations, and patents
• Enrich our group through open and critical scientific discussions

This is how you can make a difference:

• You hold a Master's degree (or equivalent) in chemistry, biochemistry, biotechnology, pharmacy, or a related field, and have at least three years of relevant work experience in analytical characterization of biologics. This position is also suitable for entry-level PhD graduates with no industry experience in this field.
• You have extensive experience in applying state-of-the-art high-resolution Mass Spectrometry techniques in protein analytics.
• Additional experience in techniques for protein analytics (e.g. SEC, IEX, HIC, CE) is a benefit.
• As a highly motivated, self-driven, and results-oriented individual with excellent communication and presentation skills, you are driven by innovative thinking to improve processes, methods, systems, products, or services.

What we offer you:

• a diverse area of work where you can make a real difference
• an open company culture
