Assistant/Associate Member

About the role

The Benaroya Research Institute (BRI) in Seattle, WA seeks to recruit several outstanding investigators for new faculty positions at the assistant or associate member level, equivalent to assistant or associate professor. We seek candidates who use innovative experimental and/or computational approaches to study immune system function in health and disease, with a particular emphasis on autoimmune and immune-mediated diseases.

We particularly encourage investigators in the following areas to apply: B cell biology, tissue immunity, innate immunity, systems immunology, and stromal-immune interactions. However, candidates from all areas of immunology will be considered. These positions offer an opportunity to join a non-profit research institute with expertise in fundamental and translational immunology uniquely focused on immune-mediated diseases with a highly interactive and collaborative environment.

The Benaroya Research Institute has outstanding, cutting edge core facilities to support a broad range of immunology research, including human sample biorepositories with healthy control and disease samples, genomics, flow cytometry, microscopy, histology and animal use cores. As part of the Seattle research community, BRI benefits from a rich and collaborative academic environment, with multiple major universities, research institutions, hospitals, and industry partners in close proximity.

Qualifications

The ideal candidate will be an early stage or mid-level investigator holding a PhD and/or MD degree or equivalent, and:

• Have significant research experience in experimental and/or computational immunology.
• Possess an exceptional track record of high impact immunology research related to immune system function or immune-mediated diseases.
• Demonstrate strong potential for obtaining research funding from national and international research agencies or, if at the associate level, a track record of such funding.
