Scientific Applications Engineer, Benchling & Lab Platforms

The Botnar Institute of Immune Engineering (BIIE) is a new interdisciplinary research institute dedicated to innovation in immune engineering. Founded in 2025 through a generous endowment from Fondation Botnar, the BIIE supports scientists in taking on some of the world’s most challenging problems in immunology and global health. The institute unites experts across immunology, biomedicine, bioengineering, computational biology, artificial intelligence, and machine learning, creating a unique multidisciplinary environment with a mission to make a lasting impact and to train future leaders in immune engineering. BIIE’s cutting-edge research spans systems immunology, synthetic biology, and computational immunology. At the BIIE We are implementing Benchling as our Electronic Lab Notebook/Laboratory Information Management System (ELN/LIMS) to enhance our R&D data management. We seek a skilled Scientific Applications Engineer to customize and support this platform, enabling our researchers to record, manage, and analyze experimental data efficiently. This role sits within the research operations group at the BIIE, but will work day-to-day with scientists at the bench as well as the automation team, bridging cutting-edge immunology research with modern data infrastructure. At BIIE, you will be an integral part of a mission to accelerate immunology breakthroughs. This role offers the opportunity to shape how cutting-edge research data is captured and utilized, by building a digital foundation for our labs. You will work in a highly collaborative and interdisciplinary setting. We offer a competitive salary and benefits package, opportunities for professional development (including Benchling certification programs), and the chance to make a tangible impact on scientific discovery by empowering researchers with effective technology.
