NRD RiSE Intern - Roche internship for Scientific Exchange - Thalamocortical Circuit Dissection

At Roche, we believe it’s urgent to deliver medical solutions right now - even as we develop innovations for the future. We are passionate about transforming patients’ lives and we are fearless in both decision and action. And we believe that good business means a better world.

That is why we come to work every single day. We commit ourselves to scientific rigor, unassailable ethics, and access to medical innovations for all. We do this today to build a better tomorrow.

The Position:

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.

The Neuroscience and Rare Diseases Discovery and Translational Area (NRD DTA) is developing medicines for a range of serious neurological diseases, including multiple sclerosis, Alzheimer’s disease, Parkinson’s disease, autism, spinal muscular atrophy, and Huntington’s disease.

As RiSE student in the NRD DTA you will join the Neural Circuits group in the Systems Neuroscience Section. You will work at the Roche Innovation Center Basel, Switzerland, performing in vivo experiments to understand the role of distinct thalamocortical circuits in sensory processing. To do so, you will utilize a combination of electrophysiology, optogenetic manipulation and auditory stimulation techniques in freely moving rodents. You will be embedded in a team of scientists and associates who will provide you with the needed work infrastructure and collaborative network. A Roche scientist who will guide you through your research will mentor you.

During the internship your tasks will include:

  • Conduct laboratory research and work closely with an established team of neuroscientists.
  • Perform animal work, including stereotaxic surgery in rats, acquisition of electrophysiological data coupled to optogenetic modulation in vivo.
  • Analysis of electrophysiological data and presentation at internal meetings.
  • Summarize your work in pursuit of high-quality manuscripts.

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. Where a job title is not considered the final definition of who you are, but the starting point.

Moreover you are/have:

  • Enrolled in a PhD or medical degree program at a university and are looking to expand your experience with an industry internship (must still be enrolled at university for 50% of the duration of the stay at Roche).
  • Holding an LTK-1 or similar certificate (i.e. FELASA-B).
  • A strong background in neuroscience and experience with in vivo electrophysiological experiments, including data analysis.
  • Extremely motivated to drive projects, design and perform experiments in pursuit of high-quality data.
  • A strong team spirit and excellent communication and presentation skills in English.

Information about application documents and start date:

The preferred start date of the internship is November 2020 or upon availability.

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.

If you are proud of contributing and feel you have the dedication to teamwork and innovation that we are seeking, then Roche is the organization for you. Every role at Roche plays a part in making a difference to patients’ lives. If you want to work in a hardworking team, make your mark & improve lives, apply now!
