From target to the clinic. AbCellera’s platform integrates biology, computation, and engineering to develop impactful antibody-based medicines. We’re scientists, engineers, and business professionals who work together to turn scientific insights into breakthrough medicines. We pursue truth and scientific rigor.

• You are enrolled in a BSc program in Analytical Chemistry, Biochemistry, or a relevant field
• You are excited to be a part of a fast-paced team and learn new scientific techniques, including chromatography and automation 
• You have technical proficiency in separation based or plate based analytical methods including SEC, HCP ELISA, Protein A Titre, or CE
• You are familiar with, or interested in learning, analytical applications such as Empower, Softmax Pro, and others
• You are familiar with, or interested in learning, CMC analytical development of monoclonal antibodies or related biotherapeutic proteins

What we offer

AbCellera’s hiring range for this role is CAD $3,300 - $3,700 per month, commensurate with your education and job-related knowledge, skills, and experience. In addition to base pay, we offer a number of ways to support AbCellerites in maximizing their work-life synergy. You will have a vacation allowance as well as additional days off as part of our company-wide office closures (a real value to all!), and sick leave time while on your internship. Scientific and technical mentorship is a priority. And you’ll find we prioritize teams and social groups to build community and connections across AbCellera.
