About The Position

EvolveImmune Therapeutics is a next-generation immunotherapy company that is pioneering a new class of precision cancer medicines to transform patient outcomes, compared to current solid tumor therapies. Our first-in-category biotherapeutic EVOLVE platform utilizes integrated T cell costimulation to directly target tumor cells to deliver durable, tissue-localized anti-tumor adaptive immune responses. Our newly-expanded, state-of-the-art 16,000+ square foot laboratory and office space located in the New Haven, CT biotechnology corridor supports in-house biologic discovery, immunobiology, manufacturing support, and translational activities, which have enabled our rapid pipeline progress. This includes EVOLVE104, our lead solid tumor program which is rapidly advancing toward an IND submission.

We are seeking a talented, highly motivated individual, currently pursuing an undergraduate degree (going into their last year) in a science discipline. This individual should be able to follow protocols, effectively communicate with others, and maintain clear records of their work. Some laboratory experience is beneficial but not required.
We are looking for a candidate who enjoys working in a team and is excited to experience conducting science in a biotech environment. This is an exceptional opportunity for someone who is excited about drug target discovery and wants to supplement their studies with industry experience.

Responsibilities

• Provide laboratory support for scientists working in Translational Sciences at EvolveImmune, which includes general laboratory practices (making buffers, cell culture), molecular biology (isolating DNA/RNA, cloning, PCR), biochemistry (protein gels, western blots, ELISA), and cell engineering (overexpression or knockout and their validation).
• Work with a mentor within the Translational Sciences group at EvolveImmune to learn all necessary laboratory procedures and carry them out efficiently.
• Keep detailed records of experiments in electronic notebooks, analyze data and present/discuss results with team members.
