AbCellera is an energetic, and rapidly growing tech company with an amazing team that searches, decodes, and analyzes natural immune systems to find antibodies that its partners can develop into drugs to prevent and treat disease. Working at the interface of computation, engineering, and biology, AbCellera is rebuilding the front-end process of how drugs are discovered with a discovery platform that integrates modern technologies from engineering, microfluidics, single-cell analysis, high-throughput genomics, machine learning, and hyper-scale data science.

We are seeking a highly motivated Data Analyst, well versed in the analysis of complex biochemical data with a focus on protein structure and biophysical characterization, to join our Biochemistry team. Our ideal candidate is a highly motivated and self-directed scientist, a team-player who thrives in a fast-paced work environment with multiple competing priorities, and above all, someone who can learn and grow with us. This is an exciting opportunity to join one of Canada’s most innovative biotech companies and to contribute to our cutting-edge research, driving the discovery of novel monoclonal antibodies for therapeutic use.

How you might spend your days:

Coordinating with different functional teams, including Data Science and Biochemistry groups, to develop strategies for data analysis, curation, storage, presentation and interpretation
Bridging the communication gap between highly technical software engineers and wet-lab scientists
Building tools on top of existing data infrastructure that increase efficiency of wet-lab scientists
Building automated analysis pipelines for a variety of data types derived from low-, medium- and high-throughput experiments, including UV-VIS, electrophoresis, analytical chromatography, thermostability assays, mass spectrometry, crystallography and cryo electron microscopy
Implementing new feature requests and maintaining these tools (typically in Python), ensuring data integrity, correctness and clarity
Organizing, supporting and collaborating with other team members to meet project deliverables and timelines
Analyzing and presenting data and methods to colleagues and partners
