| The mission of the Early & Investigative Toxicology section is to provide support within Non-Clinical Safety concerning early safety profiling of molecules and application of cutting edge technologies for the development of safe drugs. Among these technologies, in vitro screens are optimized, implemented and performed to efficiently assess the potential of molecules to display adverse side effects. At F. Hoffmann-La Roche Ltd., we are also committed to implement systems toxicology approaches including in vitro and in silico tools to Reduce, Refine and Replace animal experimentation as much as possible. You will be leading the Screening Group within Global Non-Clinical Safety that specializes in in vitro screens applied to predictive toxicology. Your main tasks will be to coordinate all screening activities, implementing novel approaches, and optimizing processes to achieve maximal efficiency. A strong emphasis should be put in an excellent interaction with the in silico prediction group, the mechanistic toxicology group, and technology development experts. You will directly lead a number of highly skilled co-workers, provide timely results to support early projects, and establish and strengthen interactions within the global non-clinical safety organization. In addition, you will maintain a high scientific level by fostering interactions with specialized groups within and outside the company. You will give advice to chemists and safety experts regarding the interpretation of the toxicological relevance of the obtained results. You will be located in Basel, Switzerland and report to the Head of Early & Investigative Toxicology. |

You are a scientist with a Ph.D in biology, biochemistry or a related field with proven experience in the area of in vitro toxicology. The ideal applicant will bring a strong background in advancements in the fields of stem cell research and be experienced in established in vitro safety test. Experience on automation of in vitro assays, image analysis, and high content screening would be an asset, while deep knowledge in cellular biology and in cell culture systems are essential requirements. The successful candidate will be experienced in leading a group within a global organization and will be willing to interact strongly with chemists as well as with safety and technology experts. You need to be able to motivate and represent the group while working independently within a multidisciplinary environment. Therefore, the ability of working in international and interdisciplinary teams is a must, as well as strong communication skills and an excellent command of English.
