Job Description

The Quantitative, Translational and ADME Sciences Department at AbbVie, Inc. in North Chicago, IL is seeking a scientist to conduct routine, medium to high volume in vivo biological sample extractions to prepare for quantitative Liquid Chromatography/Mass Spectrometry bioanalysis. The scientist will partner with senior staff to understand the rationale and business needs behind sample preparation for bioanalysis.  The selected candidate will learn to perform high throughput sample processing independently.  Automated liquid handling platforms and conventional manual single and multi-channel pipettes will be used.  Prior laboratory experience with robotic liquid handlers such as Hamilton platforms or Tecan printing units, knowledge of protein precipitation, liquid/liquid, or solid phase extraction techniques is highly desired.

Key Responsibilities:

Independently process samples from various bio-matrices for in vivo sample extraction to support bioanalysis.

Collaborate with department team members including Bioanalytical counterparts to ensure seamless and timely execution of in vivo small or large molecule quantitation.

Work closely with multiple teams across Discovery and QTAS to support ADME Sciences and biomarker preparation for bioanalysis.

Timely and accurately set up robotic liquid handling decks, track and execute proper extraction protocols, and bring anomalies to the attention of senior staff during daily workflow.
