Why work at BRI?
Benaroya Research Institute (BRI) is a world leader in human immunology. We have a bold mission: To predict, prevent, reverse and cure immune system diseases. We’re currently hiring new team members who are passionate about changing the course of immune system diseases.
At BRI, we study everything from autoimmune disease to cancer to COVID-19. And we examine the immune system as a whole — in healthy people and in people with disease — aiming to understand how these disorders start and how to rebalance the immune system back to health.
Equipped with innovative tools and robust biorepositories, our team spends every day tackling some of immunology’s biggest mysteries and working toward our vision: A healthy immune system for everyone.

Join a Collaborative Culture
At BRI, collaboration drives and inspires us. We built our organization to bring together experts from across science and technology. We believe in this approach because we know what happens when individuals with unique backgrounds and expertise team up: We build new tools. We ask different questions. And we make discoveries that change lives.
Our team of about 300 – which includes some of the world’s foremost immunologists – collaborates:
- Across fundamental, translational and clinical research, using the latest lab discoveries to inform new treatments and therapies.
- With clinicians at Virginia Mason Franciscan Health to run clinical trials, collect patient samples and use clinical insights to pose and answer research questions.
- Between lab scientists and data scientists.
- With scientists from across the globe and other Seattle institutions – including the University of Washington, Fred Hutchinson Cancer Center, Allen Institute and Seattle Children’s Research Institute.

Open Position: Assistant/Associate Member
We are seeking several outstanding investigators for new faculty positions at the assistant or associate member level, equivalent to assistant or associate professor. We seek candidates who use innovative experimental and/or computational approaches to study immune system function in health and disease, with a particular emphasis on autoimmune and immune-mediated diseases. We particularly encourage investigators in the following areas to apply: B cell biology, tissue immunity, innate immunity, systems immunology, and stromal-immune interactions. However, candidates from all areas of immunology will be considered.
