Roche Postdoctoral Fellowship in Human Genome Structural Variation
Roche Postdoctoral Fellowship in Human Genome Structural Variation
(Based in Nutley, New Jersey)
Who we are
At Roche, 80,000 people across 150 countries are pushing
back the frontiers of healthcare. Working together, we’ve
become one of the world’s leading research-focused
healthcare groups. Our success is built on innovation,
curiosity and diversity, and on seeing each other’s differences
as an advantage.
As a cross-divisional unit within Roche Pharma Research, the
global Translational Research Sciences (TRS) network
provides scientific and technical support to the Disease
Biology Areas and to the Lifecycle Teams as a key part of our
company’s Personalized Health Care strategy. The TRS also
interfaces with Roche Diagnostics. Opportunities for close
collaboration exist with Roche scientists within the TRS (New
Jersey and Switzerland), Roche Molecular Diagnostics
(California), 454 Life Sciences (Connecticut) and NimbleGen
(Wisconsin and Iceland).
The position
We have an immediate opportunity for a talented scientist to
enter the global TRS network through the Roche Postdoctoral
Fellowship (RPF) Program. The RPF was established to foster
industry-academic collaboration through innovative science
and to engage talented scientists by enabling access to
cutting edge technology, novel ideas and creative talent.
Within an interdisciplinary team, you will be responsible for
conducting research in the area of genome-wide Copy
Number Variation (CNVs) using both high-density arrays
and paired-end second generation sequencing. Other
technologies will be employed in follow-up validation
experiments. Projects will focus on drug target and
biomarker discovery in oncology, inflammation, virology, CNS
or metabolic/vascular disease areas. In collaboration with a
team of geneticists, bioinformaticians and statisticians you
will contribute to study design, help establish analysis
workflows, and support the interpretation and presentation
of results. The RPF position is based in Nutley, New Jersey
(approx. 20 miles west of New York City) and reports to the
head of the global TRS DNA Biomarker laboratory.
Who you are
You have a PhD in genetics, biochemistry or molecular
biology with laboratory experience in genome-wide copy
number or structural variation research. The ideal candidate
has technical experience with multiple platforms for
structural variation detection and validation (e.g. qPCR); a
broad knowledge of human genetics; and strong informatics
skills. You are fluent in English (written and spoken), possess
excellent communication and presentation skills, and enjoy
team work in a highly matrixed environment.
In addition, 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.
