Scientist I – Computational Biology and Bioinformatics 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 Scientist I, Computational Biology and Bioinformatics for the “Read” team. The computational biologist should have a very strong background in each of two areas: 1) next-generation genomic technology development methodology and 2) writing ad hoc and bespoke bioinformatics scripts in Python and R to do detailed bioinformatics analyses of next-generation sequencing data.
