| Roche is committed to invest into innovative healthcare
solutions in disorders of the central nervous system. In
order to
expand and strengthen our preclinical research efforts in
Cognitive
Neuroscience we are looking for a dedicated PhD level
scientist to
join our team in Translational Medicine within CNS Research
and Early
Development as postdoctoral fellow. The position foresees a
two-year
funding.
We are looking for a postdoctoral scientist to
investigate drug
effects on cognition. The research will involve building a
database of
drug effects on cognitive test performance from preclinic to
clinic,
as collected in research and development projects with
existing drugs as
well as novel compounds. The resultant database will consist of
systematically collected cognitive performance profiles of
healthy
subjects as well as patients participating in pharmaceutical
clinical
research. The postdoc will be expected to use this database to
understand the roles of neurotransmitters and
neuromodulators in
cognition, using computational modeling and other techniques.
This project will be based at Hoffmann-La Roche Basel, but
requires
intensive collaboration with the Department of Cognitive
Psychology at
the Free University of Amsterdam. It also involves significant
collaboration with Cambridge Cognition Ltd. and Cambridge
University, Cambridge, UK. |
