Postdoctoral Biotechnology Jobs in Kentucky (NOW HIRING)

Join a company where your science will directly shape the future of cancer immunotherapy

Who We Are

EvolveImmune Therapeutics is a privately-held, next-generation immuno-oncology company pioneering a new class of T cell engager therapies to transform cancer patient outcomes compared to current immunotherapies. Our first-in-category biotherapeutic EVOLVE platform utilizes integrated T cell costimulation to directly target tumor cells to deliver durable anti-tumor adaptive immune responses. Our lead asset, EVOLVE104, entered clinical trials in late 2025. Additional collaboration pipeline programs (with Abbvie) and wholly owned programs are progressing toward candidate nomination. EvolveImmune’s team consists of ~50 FTEs in R&D, business development, people & culture, finance and operations. Our newly expanded, state-of-the-art 20,000+ square foot laboratory and office space located in the New Haven, CT biotechnology corridor is convenient to the amenities of the Connecticut shoreline, the city of New Haven and easy travel options throughout the Boston/New York City corridor.

We’re hiring aScientist orSenior Scientistto join our collaborative Translational Sciences team focused on designing and advancing first-in-class immune-engaging biologics. This is a hands-on, lab-based role where your contributions directly shape the next generation of immunotherapy.

We value curiosity, collaboration, and diverse perspectives—if you’re excited by our mission but unsure if you meet every requirement, we encourage you to apply.

What You’ll Work on

• Design and conduct in vitro studies with an emphasis on immunological testing of human and animal samples using state-of-the-art techniques, including immune cell functional assays, multi-parameter flow cytometry, cell separation, multiplex assays, cell toxicity, and proliferation assays
• Maintain records of experiments in electronic notebooks, analyze data, and prepare presentations with strong attention to detail
• Partner with immunobiology, biotherapeutics, and in vivo pharmacology teams to ensure proactive sharing of scientific know-how across the organization
• Provide scientific input to optimize project progression
• Deliver clear, concise presentations at portfolio and project meetings to enable organizational alignment
• Support the authoring of essential internal and regulatory documents
• Ensure compliance with all health and safety protocols
