***Scientist II – Molecular and Proteomic Immunology*** The mission of the AllenInstitute 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 AllenInstitute 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 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 is looking for an exceptional molecular immunologist (Scientist II) to join a team focused on using and developing molecular and/or proteomic approaches to comprehensively study the interactions of the immune system. Specific responsibilities will include the design and development of new assays, technologies, and in vitro and ex vivo immunologic studies along with the analysis and synthesis of data generated through our cellular, molecular and proteomic platforms or their derivatives. A flexible and creative mindset along with the ability to function in a team to bring projects to completion on a timeline is essential. The successful candidate will have a strong background in molecular and/or proteomic methodologies along with prior neuroscience and/or immunology experience. Strongest consideration will be given to candidates with a proven track record in ident
