Research Technician I

The goal of the Bettelli Lab at the Benaroya Research Institute is to understand the cellular and molecular mechanisms underlying the development of autoimmunity and finding means to limit them.

We are recruiting a highly motivated Research Technician to support and perform laboratory experiments on adaptive and innate immune cells. A variety of cellular and molecular techniques will likely be used to address the phenotype and functions of murine and human cells. This will include but will not be limited to flow cytometry, cell culture, gene expression analysis, cytokine quantification and immunohistochemistry. The Research Technician will support and collaborate with other lab members, and should be capable of maintaining detailed laboratory records, analyzing data, and reporting experimental results.

This position requires a BA/BS in a scientific field and research laboratory experience. Experience working with mice, cellular and molecular biology techniques is also required. A successful candidate should demonstrate attention to detail, critical thinking, accuracy and ability to learn and grow within the role. 

Benaroya Research Institute (BRI) has a bold mission: to advance the science to predict, prevent, reverse and cure immune system diseases, from autoimmune disease to cancer to asthma and allergies. We create detailed pictures of the immune system in health and disease, aiming to understand how disorders start and how to rebalance the immune system back to health. Equipped with innovative tools and robust biorepositories, our team chips away at the biggest mysteries behind these conditions to work toward our vision of a healthy immune system for everyone. BRI is a nonprofit research institute based in Seattle and affiliated with Virginia Mason Franciscan Health. We collaborate with clinicians and patients to accelerate the path from innovative lab discoveries to life-changing patient care.

At BRI, each individual is valued as an important contributor to our vision and mission. Consider making a difference by joining our team.
