What Does a Research Associate Do?
As a research associate, you conduct research and analysis as directed by a senior researcher or project manager. Researchers work in a number of fields, including medical science, the social sciences, natural sciences, finance, management, and academia. Your specific duties and responsibilities differ depending on the field in which you work, but some features of your work are similar across industries. You typically do primary and secondary source research, organize and process data, analyze said data, and report on your findings to lead researchers or clinicians.

What is the difference between Research Associate vs Research Scientist?
| Aspect | Research Associate | Research Scientist |
|---|---|---|
| Required Credentials | Bachelor's or Master's degree in relevant field | Master's or PhD in relevant field |
| Work Environment | Laboratories, research institutions, universities | Laboratories, research institutions, industry settings |
| Employer & Industry Usage | Academic, government, non-profit | Academic, industry, biotech, pharma |
| Common Search & Comparison | Yes | Yes |
The main difference between a Research Associate and a Research Scientist lies in their educational requirements and level of experience. Research Associates typically hold a bachelor's or master's degree and assist in research projects, while Research Scientists usually have a PhD and lead research efforts. Both roles work in similar environments like labs and research institutions, but Research Scientists often have more independence and responsibility.

Job description
Research Associate III – Protein Binding Screening & Prediction
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 our Artificial Intelligence-Powered Biological Design (AIPBD) lab, an initiative at the intersection of academic creativity and start-up style execution. Our mission is to apply machine learning to biological design. Join us as we build a series of interconnected design-test-loop “flywheels” that enable design of synthetic enhancers, protein binders, and more.
AIPBD is looking for a research associate to join our protein binder flywheel team. The binder flywheel team is part of a larger effort that includes a total of three experimental flywheel teams and one machine learning team, and that will report into the SeaHub administrative unit. The goal of the binder flywheel is to produce a model that can accurately predict the effect of amino acid substitutions on the binding of proteins to other proteins, small molecules, and nucleic acids. To assist this flywheel team, you will need a strong background in high-throughput library screening, flow cytometry, and NGS. You will work in the lab to optimize active learning processes in your flywheel. You will help to optimize your flywheel’s turnaround-time and per-cycle model improvement, racing to help deliver the best possible ML models for predicting the impact of mutations on protein binding.
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.
Essential Functions
- Execute and optimize protein library screening and binder evaluation experiments to generate high-quality, model-ready datasets
- Execute workflows including library construction, yeast display, flow cytometry analysis and sorting, NGS library generation, and sequencing
- Optimize high-throughput screening workflows to improve assay robustness, turnaround time, and model-learning efficiency
- Lead troubleshooting efforts to optimize generation of high-quality datasets, from library construction through NGS sequencing
- Independently execute molecular biology protocols, including molecular cloning, PCR, flow cytometry and yeast culture techniques
- Review and analyze data, participating in quality control and troubleshooting of processes and results
- Collaborate closely with computational and machine learning scientists to improve experimental workflows and model performance
- Contribute to the development of new protocols as needed
- Present results and summarize progress in a multidisciplinary team to help frame internal decision-making
- Comply with SOPs, good laboratory practices, and regulatory requirements
- Adhere to a team schedule and individual time management
- Maintain accurate laboratory documentation using established methods
- Other duties as assigned
Note: Reasonable accommodations may be made to enable individuals with disabilities to perform the essential functions. This description reflects management’s assignment of essential functions; it does not proscribe or restrict the tasks that may be assigned.
Required Education and Experience
- Bachelor’s degree in Cell Biology, Genetics, Synthetic Biology, Bioengineering, Genomics, Molecular Biology, Bioinformatics, or related field
- Minimum 4 years of relevant experience
Preferred Education and Experience
- Master’s degree in Cell Biology, Genetics, Synthetic Biology, Bioengineering, Genomics, Molecular Biology, Bioinformatics, or related field
- 6+ years of relevant experience
- Experience in teams where wet lab experiments primarily serve to build AI models
- Experience performing molecular biology methods including molecular cloning (such as restriction cloning, Gibson Assembly, Golden Gate assembly, plasmid prep). Experience cloning complex libraries is a plus
- Experience with DNA isolation, and PCR. ddPCR and/or emulsion PCR are a plus
- Competence and ability to work in a molecular biology/cell culture laboratory
- Experience with nucleic acid sequencing, especially custom amplicon sequencing
- Experience using Electronic Lab Notebook (ELNs)
- Track-record of being an effective team member
- Track record of peer-reviewed publications, patents, and conference presentations (posters and/or oral presentations) is a plus
Physical Demands
- Fine motor movements in fingers/hands to operate computers and other office/lab equipment
Work Environment
- Frequently required to sit, stand, walk, stoop, kneel or reach
- Possible exposure and handling of laboratory animals
- Laboratory atmosphere - possible exposure to chemical, biological or other hazardous substances
Position Type/Expected Hours of Work
- This role requires onsite work and is expected to work onsite for the majority of the working hours. We are a Washington State employer, and the primary work location for Allen Institute employees is 700 Dexter Ave N.; any remote work must be performed in Washington State.
Travel
- The successful candidate may be invited to attend occasional national and international conferences
Additional Eligibility Qualifications
- All employees who work with live animals must complete an Occupational Health medical history form and/or consultation with an Occupational Health Provider and receive clearance to work with animals. Depending on your health history and job responsibilities, an annual respiratory health screening and clearance to use a respirator may also be required.
Additional Comments
- **Please note, this opportunity offers relocation assistance**
- **Please note, this opportunity may offer work visa sponsorship**
Annualized Salary Range
- $76,000 - $93,150 *
