The perfect start to your career at Roche with RiSE
The Roche Internships for Scientific Exchange (RiSE) Programme invites PhD and medical students to gain insight into drug discovery and development at the Roche Innovation Center Basel, Switzerland.
As an intern, you will perform your own exploratory research embedded in a research, clinical, or analytical team within drug development programmes. This immersive experience allows you to experience and apply Roche's state-of-the-art scientific technologies and take advantage of in-house learning opportunities. You will be closely mentored by a Roche scientist (and potentially a postdoctoral fellow or academic co-mentor) and become part of a global pharmaceutical research environment. The experience helps you build your scientific track record and can be used as a catalyst for your career path. You will also participate in the local community of Roche postdocs and other student interns, becoming part of the worldwide network of RiSE alumni.

If your qualifications match our needs, a recruiter will be in touch to initiate the interview process.
3. Start Dates
The program has no specific start date; the student and mentor can agree on the best start date.
