RiSE - Roche internship for Scientific Exchange – Neuronal ensemble dynamics in freely behaving animals (9 months) in Basel

Jobbeschreibung

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. We are brave in both decision and action, we believe that good business means a better world.

The Neuroscience Disease and Translational Area oversees the discovery, research and development of novel treatments for diseases such as schizophrenia, multiple sclerosis, and Alzheimer’s disease. The RiSE program (Roche Internships for Scientific Exchange) offers the most talented postgraduate students the opportunity to enhance their competencies and to gain valuable work experience with us.

The Neurosymptomatic Domains Section in the Neuroscience Discovery Group, Basel, Switzerland is using cutting edge genetic, molecular, neurophysiological, and imaging (2-photon, miniaturized microscope) methodologies to understand disease and support drug development efforts in the Neuroscience field. One area of particular interest is studying the cell-types and projections important for cognition and motivated behaviors. We are looking for a motivated PhD or MD/PhD student interested in employing cutting-edge imaging methods to understand how pharmacological interventions can modulate neuronal ensemble dynamics in deep brain structures.

During the internship your tasks will include: 

  • Using imaging and electrophysiological methods in circuit neuroscience
  • Design, implement, and analyze experiments assessing neuronal calcium signals in freely moving animals via miniaturized microscopes.
  • Work collaboratively to present and publish scientific results of high impact

Your profile

We are keen to discover talents who are passionate about learning and show great curiosity in discovering new things. At the Roche Headquarter site in Basel/Kaiseraugst, employees from over 90 countries are doing now what our patients need next.

Moreover you are/have: 

  • Enrolled in PhD or medical degree program at a university
  • An enthusiastic and critical-thinking scientist who enjoys both working independently and as a part of a team.
  • Experienced in physiological recording methods such as calcium imaging or electrophysiology – preferably in vivo.
  • Worked with rodent models– ideally you are competent in stereotactic surgery and/or behavior.

The preferred start date of the internship is summer 2018 or upon availability – please clearly indicate your preferred starting date on your motivation letter.

Applications need to include a CV and a cover letter, as well as a letter from your academic supervisor supporting your RiSE application.
