Follow @abbvie on LinkedIn, Facebook, Instagram, X and YouTube.\n We are seeking a Senior Scientist to advance quantitative bioimaging capabilities in support of immunology discovery research. In this role, you will work within a cross-functional team with access to multiple microscopy modalities, complex in vitro models, multimodal biological datasets, and advanced computational infrastructure.\nYou will develop and apply quantitative imaging, computer-vision, and machine-learning approaches to characterize cellular and tissue phenotypes, support the development of biological models, including co-cultures, organ-on-chip systems, organoids, and tissue explants, and generate insights that advance immunology discovery programs. This role combines hands-on delivery of robust, reproducible image-analysis workflows with the evaluation and application of advanced AI/ML approaches, including biomedical image segmentation, representation learning, foundation models, and scalable computational workflows. You will partner closely with wet-lab scientists, imaging specialists, computational scientists, and other subject-matter experts to translate biological questions into rigorous and impactful analysis strategies.\nThe role sits at the intersection of biology, bioengineering, microscopy, and computational science. Candidates with combined expertise in two or more of these areas are especially encouraged to apply.\nKey Responsibilities\nDevelop, optimize, and apply imaging assays and quantitative image-analysis workflows for 2D and 3D cellular and tissue models to characterize cellular and other complex biological phenotypes.\nCollaborate with wet-lab assay scientists, imaging specialists, and computational scientists from experimental and assay design through image acquisition, analysis, validation, and data delivery.\nExtract biologically meaningful, multiparametric features from high-content imaging datasets and use them to characterize disease-relevant phenotypes, mechanisms, and treatment responses.\nApply statistical, machine-learning, and deep-learning methods to identify candidate imaging biomarkers and relate imaging phenotypes to molecular, functional, and other biological readouts.\nContribute to the integration of imaging data with multimodal datasets, including molecular, single-cell, spatial, or perturbational data, where appropriate.\nEstablish quality-control and evaluation frameworks to assess image and assay quality, distinguish biological signal from technical artifacts, and define data-quality criteria, acceptance thresholds, and analytical limitations.\nMaintain clear experimental and analytical records; analyze, visualize, and present results rigorously to both technical and nontechnical audiences.\nCommunicate methods, assumptions, results, uncertainties, and limitations effectively to cross-functional project teams.\nStay current with advances in quantitative bioimaging, image analysis, computer vision, and AI/ML for biological imaging, and evaluate opportunities to incorporate relevant approaches into team workflows.\n Basic Qualifications\nBS, MS, or PhD in engineering, biophysics, computational biology, imaging science, bioinformatics, or a related discipline, with typically 10-12+ (BS), 8-10+ (MS), or 0-4+ (PhD) years experience.\nDemonstrated experience developing quantitative image-analysis or computational solutions involving one or more of the following: image segmentation, feature extraction, phenotypic profiling, object classification, or analysis of high-content imaging data.\nExperience with at least one relevant imaging modality or assay type, such as confocal microscopy, high-content imaging, or cell painting.\nAbility to assess image quality, recognize common imaging artifacts, and interpret biologically meaningful phenotypes.\nWorking knowledge of machine-learning or deep-learning approaches for biological imaging, with the ability to understand model behavior, assess performance, and contribute to appropriate evaluation strategies.\nProficiency with the Python data-science ecosystem, including NumPy, pandas, Polars, scikit-learn, and/or PyTorch.\nStrong biological grounding, attention to experimental rigor, and demonstrated ability to collaborate effectively with wet-lab and computational colleagues.\nExcellent written, verbal, and presentation skills, including the ability to explain methods, results, assumptions, and limitations to diverse audiences.\nPreferred Qualifications\nExperience working with complex in vitro models, such as organoids, organ-on-chip systems, co-cultures, tissue explants, or other advanced in vitro platforms.\nExperience with classical bioimage-analysis tools such as CellProfiler, scikit-image, ImageJ/Fiji, or comparable platforms.\nExposure to deep-learning, self-supervised learning, foundation-model, embedding-based, or multimodal AI approaches for biological imaging.\nPeer-reviewed publications, patents, conference presentations, or other demonstrated scientific contributions in quantitative bioimaging, computer vision, computational biology, bioengineering, or a related field.\nPosition will be filled at level commensurate with extent of education, experience, and accomplishment- Senior Scientist I or Senior Scientist II\n Applicable only to applicants applying to a position in any location with pay disclosure requirements under state or local law:\nThe compensation range described below is the range of possible base pay compensation that the Company believes in good faith it will pay for this role at the time of this posting based on the job grade for this position. Individual compensation paid within this range will depend on many factors including geographic location, and we may ultimately pay more or less than the posted range. This range may be modified in the future. \nWe offer a comprehensive package of benefits including paid time off (vacation, holidays, sick), medical/dental/vision insurance and 401(k) to eligible employees.\nThis job is eligible to participate in our short-term incentive program. \nThis job may be eligible to participate in our long-term incentive program. \nNote: No amount of pay is considered to be wages or compensation until such amount is earned, vested, and determinable.
