Both internal Roche and external academic experts will act as mentors, and you will be based primarily at Roche Innovation Centre Basel, Switzerland.

In this position you will:

• Develop modeling and simulation tools to support research in the area of immunogenicity
• Integrate data from multiple sources (in-vitro, in-vivo, clinical) to generate and test hypotheses for prediction of immunogenicity incidence, management and prevention
• Publish your findings in high-impact journals

Who you are:

• A highly motivated scientist with strong experience in modeling and simulation and excellent communication skills, who enjoys working in multidisciplinary and multinational teams
• Someone who enjoys and has experience in creative, data-driven quantitative modeling

Requirements:

• PhD in mathematics, physics, engineering, statistics, biostatistics, modelling and simulation or a related discipline with no more than 4 years of work experience since graduation.
• Strong knowledge of programming in Matlab, R, Python (other languages a plus).
• Substantial track record of scientific publications as journal articles and conference talks
• Fluency in written and spoken English
• Experience in machine learning and knowledge of basic immunology would be a plus

When does it start? The start date of this fellowship is 1st August, or on availability. Please clearly indicate your preferred starting date on your motivation letter. All applications always need to include a CV, motivation letter and a certificate of your PhD.
