At Roche, 79,000 people across 150 countries are pushing back the frontiers of healthcare. Working together, we’ve become one of the world’s leading research-focused healthcare groups. Our success is built on innovation, curiosity and diversity, and on seeing each other’s differences as an advantage. To innovate healthcare, Roche has ambitious plans to keep learning and growing – and is seeking people who have the same goals for themselves.

At our Roche Pharma Research site in Nutley, New Jersey, one of seven global Research Centers, our focus will be on Oncology, Inflammation and Immune-Mediated Disorders, Metabolic disease and RNAi Therapeutics. Within global Non-Clinical Safety, the Nutley Pathology group includes Discovery, Clinical Pathology and Histology Laboratories, and is responsible for leading and providing input from early discovery to late development of the Company’s therapeutics.

A pathologist in this position will provide scientific guidance and anatomic pathology support for basic research and preclinical safety projects in several therapeutic disciplines (mainly oncology and inflammation, respiratory and immune-mediated diseases, and metabolic and neurologic disorders). Both small molecule and therapeutic protein programs are supported. This individual will be part of interdisciplinary teams with discovery scientists, toxicologists, pharmacologists, chemists and other professionals with the goal of designing strategies and screening studies to identify new drug candidates for treatment of human disease. Pathologists provide anatomic and clinical pathology evaluation/interpretation and input into risk assessment during compound development from pre-IND safety studies to registration studies. Additionally, evaluation of animal models for efficacy screening, toxicity screening for lead candidate optimization, tissue target profiling and biomarker development are critical aspects of these discovery/early development programs. Collaborations with scientists throughout Roche are encouraged.

This position requires a D.V.M. and certified training in pathology (ACVP/ECVP), preferably with PhD or proven research experience in a related field, 2 to 5 years experience working in toxicologic pathology. Excellent communication skills, innovation and commitment, as well as the ability to prioritize toxicologic pathology work with discovery projects and contribute effectively to a sound, timely decision making process are essential.

In addition, you’re someone who wants to influence your own development. You’re looking for a company where you have the opportunity to pursue your interests across functions and geographies, and where a job title is not considered the final definition of who you are, but the starting point.
