The mission of the Allen Institute for Brain Science is to accelerate the understanding of how the human brain works in health and disease. Using a big science approach, we generate useful public resources, drive technological and analytical advances, and discover fundamental brain properties through integration of experiments, modeling and theory.
We are looking for a Data Engineer to join our Data Integration Team. This position will work closely with scientists, ontologists, engineering teams, and consortia members to develop solutions for data integration and interoperability to support data ingest, organization, analysis and reuse. The ideal candidate will have a strong background in data modeling and data integration and will bring a passion for linking data and knowledge to help create a useful compendium of information for neuroscientists. You will understand the complexity of combining biological data from heterogenous sources, the difficulty of standardizing data and have experience in addressing some of these issues in scientific work.
