PhD Student - Immuno-Stem cell Dynamics Lab
Join Roche as a PhD Student Fellow in the Institute of Human Biology (IHB) and contribute to cutting‑edge research in immuno‑stem cell dynamics.
Our dynamic and interdisciplinary environment at IHB fosters collaboration among biologists, engineers, and data scientists, bridging academia and pharmaceutical research to address grand challenges.
Position
An opportunity is available for a recently completed MSc in biology‑related subject to continue their career as a PhD.
Opportunity
Collaborate with world‑class academic institutions such as ETH Zürich and EPFL, and global biopharma leaders. You will have access to a wide network, state‑of‑the‑art platforms, and Roche’s core facilities. Your responsibilities will include:
* Hematopoietic signalling pathways and blood disorders biology
* CRISPR/Cas9‑based genome engineering, single‑cell or spatial transcriptomics, or high‑content imaging
* High‑dimensional flow cytometry and spectral approaches
* Collaborate with cross‑functional teams across Roche and IHB to tackle challenges in cellular bio‑engineering approaches from hardware to cell editing
Who You Are
* MSc in Biology, Biomedicine, Biochemistry, Bioinformatics, Biophysics, Chemistry, Physics or related field (completed before program start)
* Strong academic record (e.g., GPA >80%, first/upper second class degree, top 10%)
* At least 1 year of practical lab experience, including independent isolation and cultivation of human immune cells and hematopoietic stem cells
* Excellent English skills, strong interpersonal abilities, and a collaborative mindset within international teams
* Experience with advanced in vitro systems (e.g., 3D cultures, organoids) and familiarity with haemopoietic signalling pathways are an advantage
* Hands‑on experience with modern technologies (e.g., CRISPR/Cas9, single‑cell or spatial transcriptomics, high‑content imaging) is preferred
* Ideally, you also bring experience with confocal or 2‑photon microscopy and/or high‑dimensional flow cytometry
