Senior UI/UX Designer (6-month contract)

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.

The goal of the Allen Institute for Immunology is to understand the dynamic balancing act of the human immune system, how it senses friend from foe and what goes wrong when we’re ill. This will help us to improve immune health and how we diagnose, treat and prevent immune-related diseases. Everything we do begins with patients who are living with and suffering from these diseases. We believe that by unlocking the mysteries of the immune system, we can make a significant improvement in patients’ health and wellbeing. The Allen Institute, located on South Lake Union in Seattle, Washington, employs a multidisciplinary team approach where scientists, computational biologists and software engineers cooperate closely to meet these goals.
