Bioinformatics Scientist I - Immunology

Are you ready for new challenges and new opportunities? Join our team in Seattle!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 Allen Institute for Immunology is seeking a Bioinformatics Scientist to manage projects in our research in oncology, autoimmunity, immune health, and/or infectious diseases.
