Department: | CS - Computational Cell Science |
Scientist I, Quantitative Cell Biologist in Single Cell Genomics
The mission of the Allen Institute for Cell Science is to create multi-scale visual models of cell organization, dynamics, and activities. Our approach encompasses large scale data collection, observation, theory, and predictions to understand cellular behavior in normal and pathological contexts. As a division within the Allen Institute, the Allen Institute for Cell Science uses a team-oriented approach, focusing on accelerating foundational research, developing standards and models, and cultivating new ideas to make a transformational impact on science.
Our goal is to develop, generate data, analyze, and interpret scalable, quantitative image-based assays of cell organization, activity, and function toward an understanding of holistic cell states and state transitions. This Scientist level position will focus on the experimental data generation and computational analysis of application-appropriate modern genomics and spatial transcriptomics data to integrate these analyses with other, primarily image-based, assays, (e.g., multiplex protein patterns, live intracellular dynamics, etc.). This role will require extensive technical knowledge of single cell genomics, especially transcriptomics, as well as knowledge on bringing this type of data into the spatial domain (e.g., spatial transcriptomics) and integrating it with other data types. The person in this role will be required to directly perform experiments and analysis but may also be required to supervise the activities of others, contribute to writing publications, and will work collaboratively with the Institute’s technical and programmatic teams to achieve the Institute’s matrixed, programmatic objectives.
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.
