Department: | Immunology Molecular Biology |
Research Associate III - Single Cell Genomic Specialist - Immunology
The mission of the Allen Institute is to unlock the complexities of bioscience and advance our knowledge to improve human health. Using an open science, multi-scale, team-oriented approach, the Allen Institute focuses on accelerating foundational research, developing standards and models, and cultivating new ideas to make a broad, transformational impact on science.
The mission of the Allen Institute for Immunology is to advance the fundamental understanding of human immunology through the study of immune health and diseases where excessive or impaired immune responses drive pathological processes. The Institute will employ a multi-disciplinary team approach in collaboration with academic centers of human immunology to generate novel mechanistic insights into the immune synapse in health and in diseases such as autoimmunity or oncology. The Institute will simultaneously provide a foundational data set and tools for future immunological research as well as a novel collaboration portal for the broader scientific community.
We are looking for an exceptional Research Associate III who will design and implement cutting-edge single cell NGS assays as part of a multidisciplinary team. This role includes novel technology development and application, including building upon our recently published TEA-seq assay. Opportunities exist for the exceptional candidate to actively contribute to analysis and interpretation of data from our longitudinal healthy, autoimmune, and cancer cohorts as well as cross train on other immunological assays.
Good judgment and problem-solving skills are required for technology development, participating in troubleshooting, and operation of complex laboratory instrumentation. A successful candidate possesses excellent attention to detail and the eagerness to work in a Team Science, deadline-driven atmosphere. Key deliverables will include contributions to technology development, publications and patents.
The Allen Institute believes that team science significantly benefits from the participation of diverse voices, experiences and backgrounds. High-quality science can only be produced when it includes different perspectives. We are committed to increasing diversity across every team and encourage people from all backgrounds to apply for this role.
