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 RiSE program (Roche Internships for Scientific Exchange) is a highly competitive student research program at Roche. It offers the most talented postgraduate PhD and medical degree students the opportunity to be fully integrated into our interdisciplinary and international industry R&D environment. As a RiSE student you will enhance your competencies, gain valuable work experience with us, and eventually become part of a world-wide network of RiSE Alumni.

Join the Neuroscience and Rare Diseases Discovery team at Roche to help develop treatments for serious neurological conditions like Parkinson’s, Alzheimer’s, and more.

As a RiSE student in the NRD DTA, you'll join the Neural Signalling Research Section at the Roche Innovation Center Basel. You'll conduct in vivo knock-down experiments on alpha-synuclein, crucial in Parkinson’s Disease, and study its impact on brain pathology. Two Roche scientists will mentor you, providing guidance, infrastructure, and a collaborative network.

During the internship your tasks will include:

  • Plan and perform animal experimentation in close collaboration with your mentors and laboratory team, including stereotaxic injections of AntiSense Oligonucleotides (ASO) and other agents (LTK1 or similar required).
  • Sample mouse brains and run molecular biology, biochemical and immunohistological characterization. Perform complex microscopy image analysis in collaboration with our Data and Analytics department.
  • Regular discussion with your mentors and network to advance the project.
  • Summarise your findings for presentation to peers and the broader research community, potentially in a publication.

Who You Are

  • Currently enrolled in a PhD or medical degree program at a university in neuroscience, and looking to expand your experience with an industry internship (must be enrolled at university for 50% of the duration of your stay at Roche, PhD thesis can’t be defended in the first half of the internship). Applications from individuals not enrolled in a PhD or medical degree program will not be considered.
  • Strong expertise in mouse stereotaxic surgery is required.
  • Hands-on experience in brain tissue handling, immunohistochemistry, qRT-PCR, Western Blot, ELISA.
  • Advanced fluorescent, confocal and brightfield microscopy and image analysis capabilities and digital skills to establish data analysis processes.
  • Previous experience in synucleinopathy mouse models and working with Python are advantages.
  • Highly collaborative attitude; comfortable working in a team setting and in a cross-functional and multicultural environment.

Information about application documents and start date:

The internship can start between April, 2025 and September, 2025 – please clearly indicate your preferred starting date of internship on your motivation letter.

Applications need to include a CV and a cover letter, as well as a letter from your academic supervisor supporting your application to the RiSE Program.

Please note that due to regulations non-EU/EFTA citizens have to provide a certificate from the university stating that an industry internship is mandatory as part of the university training.
