Join Roche, where every voice matters.

The Position

By pioneering data-driven technology and insights, and connecting early diagnosis to targeted treatments, we’re advancing science to ensure everyone has access to the healthcare they need. Within Roche Pharma Research & Early Development (pRED), the ADME chapter is responsible for the prediction of the effect of newly developed medicines on the human body. This role offers a unique opportunity to collaborate with a diverse group of industry and academic scientists in a cross-functional project at the interface between pharmacokinetics and machine learning. This postdoctoral research position is a highly collaborative project focusing on building bridges between experimentalists and data scientists within pRED and also with our external collaborators.

The Opportunity

  • Develop, validate, and operationalize machine learning models to accurately predict drug-drug interactions (DDI).
  • Build a flexible, reusable Python framework that can be adapted for various datasets beyond DDI prediction.
  • Explore and implement innovative methods for handling data imbalance and low-data regimes.
  • Collaborate with scientists across interdisciplinary fields, including ADME and small molecule data analytics.
  • Engage with external stakeholders to perform method validation.
  • Publish your findings in leading scientific journals to contribute to the advancement of machine learning in drug discovery.
  • Participate in a supportive and dynamic team environment that fosters innovation and values diverse perspectives to drive impactful research.

Who you are

Essential

  • PhD degree in machine learning, cheminformatics or a related field.
  • To be eligible for a Roche Postdoctoral Fellowship, you must be within the first four years of completing your PhD.
  • Fluency in Python and proficiency with cheminformatics tools such as RDKit and OpenBabel.
  • Deep experience in machine learning and cheminformatics, with a proven track record (e.g. relevant publications), ideally demonstrated through at least one public GitHub repository and related first author publication.
  • A collaborative mindset.
  • The ability to work independently and effectively in an international team at the intersection of academia and industry.
  • Excellent communication skills in English (both written and spoken).

Desirable

  • An understanding of DDI and drug metabolism.
  • Ideally experience in a specialised area of machine learning (e.g. deep learning, multi-task learning, conformal prediction) applied to small molecule challenges.

This position offers a unique opportunity to work at the intersection of machine learning and drug discovery, contributing to cutting-edge research in a collaborative and interdisciplinary environment. The RPF project is initially set for a duration of two years, with the possibility of a third-year extension. The location is Basel.
