In Roche’s Pharmaceutical Research and Early Development organisation (pRED), we make transformative medicines for patients in order to tackle some of the world’s toughest unmet healthcare needs. At pRED, 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.

Strategy, Portfolio & Operations (SPO) is a unified function that serves as the strategic and operational backbone enabling pRED's strategy from lab to clinic. Operating under a dynamic Chapter Model, SPO centralizes specialized skills across critical areas including Sites & Lab Services, Program & Project Management, Strategy, Clinical Operations, External Operations, Capability Development, Core Lab Technology Platforms (360

Labs) and Asset Team Leadership. SPO’s mission is to drive enterprise value creation by delivering operational excellence, and accelerating portfolio productivity. As a trusted partner, SPO fosters a culture of collaboration and accountability to ensure pRED transitions assets smoothly from early research to late‑stage development.

The primary mission of the 360 Labs Chapter within SPO is to provide greater access and support for the use of cutting‑edge biomedical research technologies by scientists across our discovery portfolio. 360 Labs delivers core scientific technologies, expertise and enabling activities, as well as facilitating knowledge sharing in close collaboration with our therapeutic areas and functions. Our ambition is to bring to life a thriving workplace environment, where your collaborative mindset is as valued as your professional expertise.

Our goal is to act as a highly integrated ecosystem, supporting research and development, working collaboratively, and focused on fostering excellence and sustainability. Together, these efforts will serve to increase the speed, enhance the robustness and improve the sustainability of our exploratory research and early discovery activities.

The Microscopy Technology Platform in the 360 Labs Chapter is seeking an experienced, highly motivated, collaborative, and customer‑centered lab‑based senior scientist. The successful candidate will have a strong theoretical and practical background in the use of state‑of‑the‑art optical microscopy techniques. Candidates with a solid understanding of how to best design and execute optical microscopy‑based assays as applied to a variety of 2D and 3D sample types (including complex cell and organoid cultures and fixed cell/tissue preparations) are strongly desired.

You will work as part of a matrix team, collaborating with specialists from each of our therapeutic disease areas and functions to advance early drug discovery programs, and you will also contribute to the ongoing development and operations of the Microscopy Technology Platform within the pRED organisation.

• You will provide in‑depth training to platform users in the appropriate use of both optical microscope instrumentation and fluorescence‑based microscopy approaches;
• You will support platform users in the planning,…
