Who We Are:
EvolveImmune Therapeutics is a next-generation immunotherapy company based in Branford and Farmington, CT. EvolveImmune is harnessing its ‘Immunology First’ approach to create first-in-category cancer medicines which aim to transform the lives of patients by delivering superior, long-term outcomes compared to current anti-cancer therapies. The EvolveImmune team has established a first-in-class and highly differentiated tumor-targeted T cell costimulation platform designed to re-invigorate adaptive immune responses in solid tumors. In addition, building upon research that originated from the Sidi Chen Laboratory at Yale University, EvolveImmune is leveraging a novel in vivo CRISPR-based target discovery platform to develop a broad portfolio of first-in-class therapeutics for unmet needs in oncology and immune diseases.
The Role:
We are seeking a talented, highly motivated scientist to execute translational immunology and biomarker research to support IND enabling activities and planned phase I clinical studies in oncology. Experience in immune-assay development and validation is required. Expertise in human immunology and T cell immunobiology is preferred. The role involves experimental design (CRO and internal) and execution (bench work) as well as interpretation and presentation of results. This is an exciting opportunity for a highly collaborative and creative scientist who is eager to position novel immunotherapies in the cancer immunology treatment landscape. Close collaboration and matrix working with members of the Immunobiology, Biotherapeutics and Translational Science teams are expected. Evidence for a track record of scientific and/or project achievements is preferred. Strong verbal and written communication skills are expected.
