About Episteme

Episteme is a new kind of R&D company built for people who want their work to matter in the world. We support exceptional researchers pursuing ambitious, translational science; work that often struggles to find the right home within traditional academic or corporate institutions. At Episteme, we provide the financial, infrastructural and operational support that allows researchers to focus on the problems that genuinely deserve their attention. We work closely with them to move ideas from early insight to real-world application. Translation is part of the work, not an afterthought. When breakthroughs are ready, we help bring them into the world responsibly, including through commercialization when appropriate.

Working at Episteme means joining a company that is intentionally different. We are building something new, and that requires comfort with ambiguity, intellectual honesty, and a bias toward thoughtful execution. You will work alongside people from many disciplines who care deeply about rigor, impact and follow-through. We value clarity over complexity, ownership over passivity and collaboration without micromanagement. Roles evolve through contribution and trust rather than rigid job descriptions, and ideas are tested quickly, decisions are made explicitly, and learning is shared openly so the system improves faster than any individual.

What We Look For

We are looking for a biologist or bioengineer who is eager to learn, driven to solve problems, and motivated by women's health research. Beyond having deep expertise in disease biology, you are able to quickly adapt emerging science in pursuit of changing how endometriosis and other immune mediated diseases are diagnosed and treated. You will work alongside interdisciplinary scientists and external collaborators, drawing on Episteme's operations, partnerships, and decision processes to move findings from early insight toward diagnostics and therapies.

You will turn broad objectives into experiments with clear controls and decision points. Knowing when to bring others in comes naturally, and the work is reproducible and ready to build on. Above all, you are drawn to hard, overlooked problems and want your work to move beyond what is currently possible.

This role is strategically important because every part of the program depends on credible disease biology. Imaging readouts and immune interventions can only be interpreted against well-characterized models and tissue data. The person in this role sets the experimental foundation the program builds on and helps establish Episteme's capability in disease models.
