The mission of Allen Institute for Cell Science is to develop a comprehensive and holistic approach to measure, describe, and model cell states and their dynamic changes over time. Our ultimate goal is to uncover the fundamental principles of multiscale, multicellular morphogenesis, including how groups of cells organize and achieve collective behaviors essential for life. Our approach encompasses multi-modal data collection including live 3D timelapse imaging, data analysis, theory, and predictions to understand cell states and cell state transitions in human induced pluripotent stem cell models. As a division within the Allen Institute, the Allen Institute for Cell Science uses a team-oriented approach, focusing on accelerating foundational research, developing standards and models, and cultivating new ideas to make a transformational impact on science.

We are seeking a highly motivated and goal-oriented Scientist I - Microscopy Image Analysis and Visualization to develop and apply cutting-edge image analysis workflows and visualization pipelines. This role offers a unique opportunity to apply and integrate advanced image processing, computer vision, and data visualization techniques to advance the field of cell science. Working with a team that includes computational biologists, quantitative and modeling scientists, and software engineers, this scientist will help build robust and reproducible frameworks to extract meaningful quantitative information from complex microscopy datasets and present it effectively. This role will collaborate closely with the Institute’s technical and programmatic teams to achieve the Institute’s shared, programmatic objectives.

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.
