Post Doctoral Fellow

Join Amgens Mission of Serving Patients

At Amgen, if you feel like youre part of something bigger, its because you are. Our shared missionto serve patients living with serious illnesses drives all that we do.

Since 1980, weve helped pioneer the world of biotech in our fight against the worlds toughest diseases. With our focus on four therapeutic areas Oncology, Inflammation, General Medicine, and Rare Disease we reach millions of patients each year. Amgen is advancing a broad and deep pipeline of medicines to treat cancer, heart disease, inflammatory conditions, rare diseases, and obesity and obesity-related conditions.

As a member of the Amgen team, youll help make a lasting impact on the lives of patients as we research, manufacture, and deliver innovative medicines to help people live longer, fuller happier lives.

Our award-winning culture is collaborative, innovative, and science based. If you have a passion for challenges and the opportunities that lay within them, youll thrive as part of the Amgen team. Join us and transform the lives of patients while transforming your career.

Lets do this. Lets change the world. In this vital role Amgen isseekinga highly motivated Process Development Postdoctoral Fellow to join the Drug Product Technologies organization. The Fellow will lead an innovative research project focused on enablinghighconcentration biologic drug products throughparticle engineeringandsuspensionbasedformulation and fill/finish approaches.

The Drug Product Technologiesgroupis responsible forphaseappropriate drugproduct formulation and fill/finish process development for large molecule modalities (e.g.monoclonal antibodies, bispecific T-cell engagers (BiTEs), antibody drug conjugates (ADCs) and fusion proteins).

• Design and execute studies to develop high concentration protein formulations by evaluatingviscosityreducing excipients and formulation strategies to enhance product performance and delivery
• Participate in the execution and documentation of laboratory studies with a high degree of accuracy (e.g.UF/DF,spray drying,mixing, stability)
• Evaluate product and process performance through analytical testing (e.g.SEC, CEX-U/HPLC, particle analysis, moisture content)
• Apply solid-state(SEM, DSC, DVS) methods toestablishrelationships among formulation composition, particle structure, stability, and product performance
• Perform rheological characterization of high concentration formulations and suspensions
• Develop and evaluate concentrated protein suspension formulations for parenteral delivery, including assessment of device compatibility
• Build a wide range of data and analytics solutions, from available commercial dashboarding tools such as TIBCO Spotfire, MS Smartsheet
• Perform data analysis using statistical analysis software (e.g.JMP, SAS, etc.)
• Author/review/data verifytechnical protocols and reports.
• Participate in team meetings by sharing study results and technical challenges.
• Adapt to flexible working hours to accommodate project needs and team collaboration.
• Navigate and thrive in an environment with ambiguity, demonstrating adaptability and problem-solving skills.
• Work effectively across different time zones and be respectful of diverse cultures.

We are all different, yet we all use our unique contributions to serve patients. The professional we seek is a leader with these qualifications.
