    Default job background
    Description
    Research Associate II - Molecular Biology, Genome Engineering (SeaHub)

    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.

    Join the Seattle Hub for Synthetic Biology (SeaHub), a new initiative at the intersection of academic creativity and start-up style execution. Our mission is to reimagine living cells and genomes as devices for recording biology and diagnostic information over time, as well as for encoding real-time therapeutic decision-making. Take off with us as we imagine - and create - a kind of cellular flight recorder that can also seize the controls. Be part of a small dynamic team on the ground floor of a new program with world-class scientists.

    SeaHub is looking for a Research Associate to join our "Write" team, responsible for expanding our ability to efficiently store biological records in genomic DNA. The "Write" team will be part of a larger effort that includes teams focused on expanding our abilities to engineer cells and genomes to autonomously "Write," "Read," and "Act" at a molecular level. The Research Associate will be conducting experiments on a daily basis to improve performance of synthetic information storage operations, e.g., using DNA Typewriter.

    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.
