About the role

  • Intern in Computational Sciences Center of Excellence supporting R&D project focused on AI/ML in drug development. Leveraging AI and data for innovative medicines at Roche.

Responsibilities

  • Support a translational R&D project focused on inferring protein molecule numbers across human tissues.
  • Deliver an MVP “predictability map” that clarifies when RNA is a reliable proxy for protein abundance—and when it isn’t.
  • Collaborate with experts in ML research, computational biology and data engineering.
  • Leverage pharma-scale infrastructure to bridge the gap between AI innovation and significant biological discoveries.
  • Set up robust data management and a deployment pathway so scientists can run inference reproducibly.
  • Enable MVP release workflows (v0.1 → v0.x) by producing stable, queryable tables/exports and clear “what changed” release notes.
  • Operationalize Machine Learning Algorithms: Leverage your understanding of machine learning to operationalize existing algorithms.

Requirements

  • Bachelor’s or Master’s degree within the past 12 months, or currently enrolled in a Master’s or PhD program in a relevant field (preferably in Computer Science, Data engineering, Bioinformatics, Computational Biology)
  • Solid programming skills in Python (and/or R) and confidence working with data at scale.
  • Familiarity with data pipelines, reproducibility, and collaborative workflows (Git, CI/CD, code review, documentation)
  • Familiarity with containers (Docker) and cloud/HPC workflows.
  • Experience with data modelling in MongoDB or other NoSQL databases
  • Prior experience in mass spectroscopy readouts, protein abundance, or -omics data and common identifiers/mappings (gene/protein IDs, ontologies)
  • Familiarity with Kubernetes or other deployment orchestration
  • Experience using and developing REST APIs (e.g. using FastAPI, Plumber)
  • Strong communication skills and enjoyment of cross-functional teamwork
  • Proficiency in English (written, spoken).

Benefits

  • Professional development opportunities
  • Flexible working hours
