Roche fosters diversity, equity and inclusion, representing the communities we serve. When dealing with healthcare on a global scale, diversity is an essential ingredient to success. We believe that inclusion is key to understanding people's varied healthcare needs. Together, we embrace individuality and share a passion for exceptional care. Join Roche, where every voice matters.

The Position

A healthier future. It's what drives us to innovate.

To continuously advance science and ensure everyone has access to the healthcare they need today and for generations to come.

Creating a world where we all have more time with the people we love.

That's what makes us Roche.

The Opportunity

You will join Roche's Institute of Human Biology, an organization within pRED whose goal is to harness and advance the use of human model systems in drug discovery and development, as well as personalized medicine.

Our interdisciplinary research bridges academic and pharmaceutical research, connecting biologists, engineers, and data scientists.

We are offering an outstanding opportunity for a dedicated scientist to contribute to our mission to disrupt the traditional drug discovery process.

You will be responsible for exploring novel mechanistic biology in the area of metabolic homeostasis.

Of particular interest is the goal to understand the mechanism by which adipose tissue interacts with other tissues to mediate whole-body energy homeostasis, disruption of which results in diabetes.

You will work with the Group Lead of the Metabolic Homeostasis team at IHB.

You will hence benefit from existing IHB know-how and innovative technologies in performing your translational research (microtechnologies and bioengineering methods, organoids expertise, phenotyping and phenoscaping capabilities).

You will also be supported by a network of experts in pRED and Roche with clinical experience in the metabolic disease area as you explore patient-relevant scientific hypotheses.

Independently drive a project to develop multicellular in vitro systems for modeling interactions between adipose tissue and sensory neurons.
Collaborate with experts, including engineers, and data scientists within the IHB and pRED to build accurate models of sensory innervation of adipose tissue and its functional consequences.
Plan, design, implement, and document experiments, analyze data and present results at lab meetings.
Liaise with other IHB and pRED colleagues active in the field to find alignment and possibilities to collaborate.
Supervise or train personnel and students when required, and gain knowledge of the pRED drug development process to understand where activities could be developed to therapeutically exploit sensory innervation of adipose tissue.

Who You Are

You thrive in a dynamic, inclusive environment which gives you full accountability for your own contributions and development. You are resourceful and flexible in problem-solving and working in a collaborative and inclusive manner.

Furthermore, you are dedicated to establishing a culture of mutual support, cross-training, continuous learning and self-organization to meet project and functional goals.

D. degree and sophisticated experience in the area of adipose biology. Expertise in neurobiology is desirable. You completed your Ph.
D. studies more than 4 years ago.

Extensive experience with mammalian cell culture, including human cells, ideally including 3D culture models, organoids, organonachip technologies, single cell technologies, bioimaging, and molecular biology, and experience with adipose in vivo or ex vivo models.
Good knowledge of adipose physiology, architecture, signaling and gene expression, followed by a good understanding of organoid biology and molecular biology.
Proven track record (publications, patents) in conducting research, including designing, driving and interpreting experiments, as demonstrated by previous publications.
Outstanding communication skills, strong passion and commitment to science and work well within a group.
Exhibits exceptional communication, a strong dedication to science, and excels at teamwork, with an ability to prioritize, maintain a broad vision, and focus on details.
Capable of independent work, quickly building professional networks, collaborating effectively with partners, and displaying a keen interest in drug development and medicine.

The position is temporary for one year.

Please clearly indicate your preferred starting date on your motivation letter. The position is based in Basel.

If you are passionate about contributing to a committed team and have the dedication to partnership and innovation, Roche is the place for you Every role at Roche plays a part in making a difference in patients' lives.
