The BIATECH Institute is an independent nonprofit biomedical research center located in Seattle downtown. Our mission is to discover and model the molecular mechanisms of biological processes using cutting edge high-throughput technologies and computational analyses that will both improve human health and the environment. Our research focuses on applying integrative interdisciplinary approaches to the study of model microorganisms, and advancing our knowledge of their cellular behavior. Established in 2002, we are a well-funded organization, supported by the Department of Energy, National Institutes of Health, and National Science Foundation. We are a tight-knit group of skilled and dedicated researchers and we encourage talented individuals interested in working in such an environment to apply. We offer a competitive salary and an outstanding benefits package.
