Distinguished Neuropathologist

About the Role

Roche is seeking a highly skilled and experienced Neuropathologist to lead our research efforts in understanding and quantifying neurodegenerative disease pathology in animal models and human post-mortem tissues and biofluids.

Key Responsibilities

• Recruit and lead an effective team to understand pathology of neurodegenerative diseases at the cellular level by performing quantitative histopathology, spatial omics, and related experiments.
• Contribute to multiple projects by bringing deep scientific expertise about the pathology-relevant microenvironment how different cell types influence each other during the neurodegenerative process.
• Generate ideas for back translation from clinical trial samples and data to target and/or biomarker identification.
• Interface with omics and in vivo and in vitro models colleagues to design and interpret experiments.
• Lead drug discovery projects related to neurodegenerative disorders.

Requirements

• PhD or MD/PhD in neuroscience or cellular biology with minimum 5 years of experience in Neuropathology.
• Rigorous scientist with a deep understanding and practical experience in cellular neuroscience, including major neural cell type histology in preclinical disease rodent/larger mammal models and post-mortem patient samples.
• Expertise in neurodegenerative diseases such as Alzheimer's, Parkinson's, ALS, and/or Multiple Sclerosis, including a solid grasp of the literature in neurodegeneration.
• Experience using multi-omics approaches such as proteomics, transcriptomics, and/or single cell genomics to quantify differences in disease state, with experience integrating two or more of these omics approaches a plus.
• Proven scientific-track record through impactful publications in relevant fields, patents, or substantial contributions to drug development programs.
• Driven by the desire to find therapeutics for some of the most complicated and devastating disorders.
• Enjoys teamwork, diligence, and efficiency. Kind and influential team leader and trusted and knowledgeable colleague.
• Working in a multicultural environment motivates.
