People. Passion. Possibilities. Three words that make a world of difference. More than a job. It's a chance to make a real difference. Welcome to AbbVie! As part of an international company with 58,000 employees worldwide and around 3,500 employees in Germany, you will have the opportunity of addressing some of tomorrows unmet medical needs in close collaboration with your colleagues. Are you passionate about improving global health care? Do you want to contribute to improving patients' quality of life through your expertise? In a challenging work environment that offers opportunities of developing and increasing your own skills? Youve come to the right place! Together, we break through – as PostDoc on Cell-Based Potency Assays for Botulinum Neurotoxins (all genders) Make your mark : You will take a leading role in designing and developing innovative cell-based assay formats for characterization and quality control of Botulinum Neurotoxins. A strong focus will lie on assays that, through targeted genetic modification of neuronal cells, represent the mechanism of action of neurotoxins. You will work in cross-functional teams with colleagues from other groups adjacent to our Development Sciences organization, both at Abbvie Ludwigshafen and at other global AbbVie sites.   As a member of the Bioassay Science and Development team, you will be able to benefit from the team’s strong background in functional characterization of biologics. As a postdoctoral scientist you will closely follow the technological landscape in the field of potency and binding assays.

This is how you make a difference: You hold a PhD in molecular biology, biochemistry, biotechnology or a related field You have at least three years of experience with the development of cell-based assays that reflect a molecule’s mode of action. You are skilled in cell culture and fundamental molecular biology techniques, such as design of plasmids/proteins to fulfill desired purposes, methods for detecting proteins of interest (by e.g., flow cytometry, fluorescence microscopy or binding assays), methods to measure protein/protein interactions, generation of stably transfected cells and reporter gene assays. You have strong experience in analyzing and presenting data in a broader context and are eager to defend data during scientific debate in local and global teams. As a highly motivated, self-driven and results-oriented person with excellent communication and presentation skills you are driven by innovative ways of thinking to improve processes, methods, systems, products, or services. As a global acting company, we presume excellent communication skills, including written and oral English and German. What we offer you: with a diverse work environment where you can have a real impact with an open corporate culture with an attractive salary with an intensive onboarding process with a mentor at your side with flexible work models for a healthy work-life balance with a corporate health management that offers comprehensive health and exercise programs with company social benefits with a wide range of career opportunities in an international organization with top-tier, attractive development opportunities with a strong international network At multiple times, we
