• Job facts

The Roche Postdoctoral Fellowship (RPF) program is aimed at supporting excellent young scientists focusing on collaborative R&D projects between Roche and international academic institutions. Both internal Roche and academic experts will mentor you, and you will be based mainly at the main Roche campus in Basel, Switzerland.

The pRED translational medicine and Informatics groups at the Roche Innovation Center Basel aims to strengthen their digital biomarker team with this two-year post-doctoral position. The field of ‘Digital Biomarkers’ is a young and rapidly expanding research area centered on the remote collection of frequent symptom data from patients using smartphone or wearable sensors. These provide high-dimensional, longitudinal datasets of sensor-derived features.

This post-doctoral position will entail the analyses of longitudinal Parkinson’s disease digital biomarker data and the writeup of manuscripts describing these findings in clinical neuroscientific journals. In close collaboration with internal and academic experts, you will develop a deep and comprehensive understanding of the heterogeneity of the disease state of an individual with Parkinson’s disease, how this is reflected in our digital biomarker feature data and how this evolves over time. These results will support and inform future digital biomarker development for neurodegenerative disease in Roche as part of an agile Digital Biomarker team. Finally, you will publish these results in high-impact journals and present them at internal and external meetings.
