Overview: 
The Development Sciences Biologics Drug Product Development organization within AbbVie develops and characterizes drug product formulations and manufacturing processes to provide clinical dosage forms to enable the development of AbbVie’s pipeline. AbbVie is seeking a highly motivated person to join the Biologics CMC Developability Team. Our team utilizes start-of-the-art biophysical and analytical instrumentation to support the early-stage assessment of candidates coming out of the Discovery pipeline with the opportunity to influence the design and development of stable drug product formulation and manufacturing processes for biologics used in clinical trials. Key to our success is implementing data capture tools and laboratory automation. To leverage our data for modeling, we are seeking to add a data scientist to our team. The successful candidate will leverage deep experience in data science and familiarity with protein analysis to operationalize predictive modeling. In addition, the candidate will be expected to drive key scientific initiatives and lead innovative approaches to improve current workflows. In this role, the candidate will be a member of a global team and will work closely with scientists from multiple functional areas, including Discovery, Development Science Digital Transformation, and Information Research.

Responsibilities:

• Lead overall BCD team strategy for digital systems automation, enabling seamless integration of digital capture workflows into emerging paradigms of predictive modeling, laboratory automation, and active learning cycles.
• Coordinate efforts with internal and external partners for digital systems design, improvement and training.
• Empower BCD Team through enabling access to databased information.
• May develop fit for purpose tools for workflow automation, data interpretation and analysis. If tools are desired for enterprise support, this individual would be responsible for overseeing transfer to enterprise support teams.
• Identifies emerging scientific and technological trends from multiple internal and external sources, assesses relevance and integrates applicable trends into BCD plans and strategies as appropriate. Present data at internal and external professional conferences and prepare manuscripts for publication in peer reviewed journals or patent applications.
• Lead developability assessment activities for 1-2 Discovery Projects at a time.
