Scientist in Medicinal Chemistry (temporary position for 2 years)
A healthier future. It’s what drives us to innovate. To continuously advance science and ensure everyone has access to the healthcare they need today and for generations to come. Creating a world where we all have more time with the people we love. That’s what makes us Roche.
In Roche´s Pharmaceutical Research and Early Development organisation (p RED), we make transformative medicines for patients in order to tackle some of the world’s toughest unmet healthcare needs. At p RED, we are united by our mission to transform science into medicines. Together, we create a culture defined by curiosity, responsibility and humility, where our talented people are empowered and inspired to bring forward extraordinary life-changing innovation at speed.
The Medicinal Chemistry Team in Pharma Research and Early Development, located in Basel, is part of Small Molecule Research. We are a community of drug hunters with expertise in synthesis, design and purification, with a responsibility to convert hypotheses into innovative small molecules for treating diseases of high unmet medical need, closely collaborating with our broader therapeutic areas and functions.
The Opportunity:
In your role as a temporary Scientist in the Technology Group within Medicinal Chemistry, you will be working on accelerating compound synthesis through automation and digitalization. You will be focusing on expanding the implementation of innovative technologies (e.g., high-throughput experimentation, late-stage functionalization). This requires the introduction of new synthetic methodologies and techniques, including reaction miniaturization, photochemical transformations, small-scale purification and analytical methodology development. Thereby you will also contribute to generating high-quality reaction datasets for machine learning applications.
Who you are:
We are looking for a temporary Scientist who will be available to join our department between January and February 2025 for two years. The candidate should possess a very strong background in synthetic organic chemistry and laboratory digitalization to accelerate the synthesis of chemical matter for Medicinal Chemistry. In particular, the candidate should bring:
Basel is the headquarters of the Roche Group and one of its most important centres of pharmaceutical research. Over 10,700 employees from over 100 countries come together at our Basel/Kaiseraugst site, which is one of Roche`s largest sites. Read more.
Besides extensive development and training opportunities, we offer flexible working options, 18 weeks of maternity leave and 10 weeks of gender independent partnership leave. Our employees also benefit from multiple services on site such as child-care facilities, medical services, restaurants and cafeterias, as well as various employee events.
We believe in the power of diversity and inclusion, and strive to identify and create opportunities that enable all people to bring their unique selves to Roche.
