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), an initiative at the intersection of academic creativity and start-up style execution. SeaHub is a deep collaboration with the University of Washington and the Chan Zuckerberg Initiative (CZI). 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 with world-class scientists. SeaHub is looking for a Director of Scientific Operations. The successful candidate will lead scientific operations for aspects of SeaHub projects that are based at the Allen Institute, including those already underway as well as any new projects, while also facilitating coordination with aspects of these same projects based at UW or elsewhere. They will oversee budget development, budget management, and budget reporting. They will lead administrative activities that support our team, enabling delivery of our mission. The administrative activities to be overseen include budget support, contracting, laboratory operations, administrative assistance, and meeting planning. The ideal candidate will be a capable manager with a gift for creating operational excellence to balance growth and long-term success. 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.
