We’d love to hear from you if

• You excel at clearly communicating complex scientific and medical concepts to diverse audiences, supported by your deep command of domain terminology and strong oral and written communication skills 
• You can seamlessly oversee multiple projects simultaneously and effectively collaborate cross-functionally to do so; organization, time management, and problem-solving are strengths of yours
• You have extensive experience writing and editing clinical and regulatory documents following guidelines and regulations, such as ICH guidelines, GCP, and other regulatory requirements
• You have an advanced understanding of drug development, clinical research, study designs, biostatistics, pharmacology, regulatory requirements, and medical terminology

About AbCellera

Creating medicines is the most important work we can do. 

We are a clinical-stage biotechnology company focused on discovering and developing antibody-based medicines in the areas of endocrinology, women’s health, immunology, and oncology. We have built a platform for advancing antibody drug programs from target to clinic, and we are using it to build our internal pipeline.

Today, our pipeline includes two drug candidates in clinical development, two preclinical development candidates (DCs) in Investigational New Drug (IND)-enabling activities, and more than 20 active discovery programs across multiple modalities and indications.

We believe that when tenacious people share a vision and work together, they can truly have a positive impact. That’s why we hire for character and intelligence, not just for CVs or experience. 

We look for people with drive and energy. People we trust. People who need to know their days are being well spent. That their work really matters. In the end, our success will be measured by the impact of our medicines.
