The Safety Pharmacology department plays an especially influential role in all Abbvie discovery projects by providing both standard in vitro and in vivo cardiovascular and neurobehavioral safety screening as well as fit-for-purpose assay development to aid in critical decision making. Safety pharmacology at Abbvie focuses primarily on cardiovascular safety, but our wide variety of expertise allows us to look at several organ systems including central nervous and gastrointestinal systems and investigate the mechanistic underpinnings of observed toxicities as needed.

We are seeking a highly motivated individual to join our safety pharmacology team. The successful candidate will be responsible for running, analyzing, and reporting in vivo and ex vivo rodent cardiovascular, neurobehavioral, and gastrointestinal assays as well as assisting senior scientists with projects in a collaborative, team-based setting. The successful candidate will be responsible for learning and implementing new experimental protocols, should be able to apply basic scientific principles to research, and be proficient in basic lab and animal handling techniques (compound dosing, rodent restraint, dilution calculations, etc.).
