Job Description

The Analytical Research & Development team is seeking a talented, highly motivated candidate with experience in the characterization of peptide and oligonucleotide biomolecules. The successful candidate will be responsible for leading the design, development, and implementation of analytical methods for the characterization of peptides/oligonucleotides using advanced analytical techniques, with an emphasis on high order characterization. We are looking for diverse candidates with strong scientific and leadership experience to join the AbbVie Analytical R&D team and can offer exciting and rewarding career opportunities for these candidates. The ideal candidate will have significant CMC expertise in analytical development for biomolecule therapeutics. The candidate will be responsible for assisting with the development and execution of analytical methods to support CMC and will participate in phase-appropriate characterization of material and products at all stages of the development process, as well as monitoring completion of tasks and projects.

Responsibilities

• Lead development and implementation of advanced analytical characterization methods to support complex peptide and oligonucleotide development programs.
• Utilize cutting-edge structure elucidation techniques (e.g., high-resolution, tandem mass spectrometry) to characterize a wide range of modalities across AbbVies pipeline, including oligonucleotide, peptide, and small molecule APIs, starting materials, intermediates, and impurities.
• Lead cross-functional teams and collaborate with multi-disciplinary experts to develop strategies to enable the structure elucidation aspects of a project to advance programs through the development pipeline.
• Advance scientific expertise beyond ARD organization. Proactively advise and share knowledge and expert opinions with subordinates, peers, and senior management. Mentor and train colleagues and assesses current and emerging business challenges enabling functional goal achievement.
• Ensure quality and effectiveness of key results of major project plans through sound design, early risk assessments, and implementation of fallback strategies.
• Source and identify emerging scientific trends in the field of molecular characterization of therapeutics from internal and external sources and assess relevance. Integrate trends into functional short-term objectives. Advance cross discipline technology and direction within area of discipline.
• Apply imagination and innovation by creating, inventing, and implementing new or better approaches, alternatives and breakthrough ideas across disciplines.
• Make significant contributions to project team and deliver results in a team-oriented setting and will work across scientific disciplines to drive programs through critical milestones.
• Generate new scientific proposals and lead those efforts. Anticipate and critically evaluate scientific or regulatory advances and respond with appropriate new strategies.
  
  
  

Qualifications

• PhD (with 10+ years experience) in scientific discipline (e.g., Analytical Chemistry, Biochemistry, Chemical Biology or related field) with previous laboratory experience.
• Deep understanding of peptide and/or oligonucleotide characterization, including higher order structure, chiral identification, and comparability assessments by mass spectrometry and other biophysical techniques (e.g. optical spectroscopy, structure, and binding). Experience in biomolecule analysis and interpretation by NMR spectroscopy a plus.
• Practical experience and strong knowledge of LC separations (e.g., IP-RP LC, SEC), capillary electrophoresis, and other separation techniques as applied to peptide/oligonucleotide analysis.
• Must possess demonstrated experience in peptide/oligonucleotide chemistry and biochemistry, particularly in the high order characterization activities related to drug development process and formulation characterization.
• Experiences with the project leadership in the development of peptides and traditional small molecule modalities.
• Proven ability to innovate with a history of new or improved product release.
• High-quality written and oral communication skills and ability to interact effectively with interdisciplinary scientists and engineers.
