We are passionate about doing work that improves the quality of people’s lives.

We currently have an exciting opportunity for a Senior Scientist to join our R&D team to provide scientific expertise across the ADC product range for technical collaboration with Engineering, Regulatory, Commercial, Quality, Clinical Affairs & Research & Development organisations worldwide.

Joining a small team, you will play a key role by providing Subject Matter Expertise and lead R&D projects pertaining to terminal sterilisation. Experience with Gas and Irradiation modalities as well as knowledge of relevant ISO standards and regulatory requirements would be highly desirable.

Your responsibilities will include supporting activities and scientific experimentation in the field of terminal sterilisation and sterility assurance relating to product development and cleanroom-based manufacturing. You will have the opportunity to work on the application of new and existing sterilisation technologies through different stages of the product development life cycle, from early phase feasibility projects to design transfer.

You will be degree qualified and have both practical experience and an understanding of terminal sterilisation of products and sterilisation process validations.

The ideal candidate will be a proactive individual, able to manage a multitude of interrelated activities with varying priorities, and be comfortable working in a fast-paced, changing environment. You will bring excellent communication and interpersonal skills, with exposure to prior collaboration with both multiple internal cross-functional groups and external contacts, including industry technology leaders.

In addition to a competitive salary, Abbott offers a highly attractive benefits package which includes a defined-contribution pension scheme, a share ownership scheme, private healthcare, life assurance, and a flexible benefits scheme which you can tailor to your own requirements. Of course, things are a little different right now, but in general, we like to help our employees live life to the fullest, and therefore we offer a range of optional initiatives for you to get involved in, including onsite allotments, couch to 5k campaigns, bee keeping, yoga and more!
