The headquarters in Basel is one of Roche’s largest sites. It is home to the Corporate Executive Committee, the Pharmaceuticals and Diagnostics Divisions and the global business functions. Roche Basel also covers the entire business chain from research, development and production through to marketing. Over 8,000 people from more than 60 countries work at the site.
The Position
The successful candidate will support enhancing the technical repertoire of the mechanistic toxicology group by evaluation and further development of 3D-Liver Systems. He/she will work on the assessment and introduction of a new model system supplementing the in vitro toxicology test battery for the assessment of drug development candidates. The candidate will concentrate on experiments which include monitoring liver-specific functions to assess the relevancy of the 3D systems. A second task will be the evaluation of these new systems for toxicology experiments in comparison to established models (monolayer cell culture & in vivo experiments) by use of the most indicative and predictive end points. The candidate will work in a laboratory dedicated to molecular and biochemical toxicology testing. He/she will closely interact with affiliated non-clinical development functions (Toxicology, Drug Metabolism, Metabolic Diseases) as well as with the external partner providing the 3D systems.
Who you are
You’re someone who wants to influence your own development. You’re looking for a company where you have the opportunity to pursue your interests across functions and geographies, and where a job title is not considered the final definition of who you are, but the starting point.
Requirements include PhD/MD/MD-PhD with a focus on hepatology, liver physiology or related fields. Ideal candidates have experience in drug -induced liver toxicity in vivo with a demonstrated ability to perform in vitro assays using primary cultures. Knowledge of standard molecular and biochemical tools to be applied to cellular assays are expected.
Good oral and written communication capabilities in English are essential. Strong interpersonal skills, skills in collaborative problem solving and team interactions are required.
