Scientist I - Cellular Immunology, Neuroimmune Interactions, and Immune Microenvironment

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 and mouse 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.

The Allen Institute for Immunology seeks an innovative cellular immunologist to join a team focused on understanding and mapping the human and mouse immune system in health and disease. We are utilizing a multi-omic approach to comprehensively evaluate the interactions of the nervous system and the immune system in the setting of viral infection, cancer and autoimmune diseases. Reporting to Dr.

Anna-Maria Globig, the ideal candidate is a self-motivated team player who is willing to push the boundaries of immunology research through scientific investigation, individual and team contributions and continuing scholarship on the ever-changing immunological landscape. The successful candidate will also have excellent communication skills allowing them to effectively present complicated concepts internally and externally.

The Allen Institute offers exceptional working conditions, and nurtures team science in an intellectually rich and stimulating setting. We provide a highly collaborative research environment offering the opportunity to interface closely with our molecular biologists, bioinformaticians, computer scientists, and partner institutions. Everything we do begins with patients who are living with and suffering from immune disorders. We believe that by unlocking the mysteries of the immune system, we can make a significant improvement in patients’ health and wellbeing.

Together we will unravel key mechanistic pathways of the human immune system across autoimmune disease and cancer. For further details about the Institute’s research plans and partners, visit (Use the "Apply for this Job" box below). .

At the Allen Institute, we believe that science is for everyone – and should be open to everyone. We are dedicated to combating biases and reducing barriers to STEM careers more broadly. We also believe that science is better when it includes different perspectives and voices. We strive to make the Allen Institute a place where everyone feels like they belong and are empowered to do their best work in a supportive environment.

We are an equal-opportunity employer and strongly encourage people from all backgrounds to apply for our open positions.
