Internship LC-MS Bioanalytics (Basel, 6 months)

About the role

Roche's Pharmaceutical Research and Early Development (pRED) organisation develops medicines for patients, and its Bioanalytics and Biomarkers (BioAM) department supports molecules of all therapeutic modalities with innovative bioanalytical solutions. This 6-month internship in Basel gives students hands-on exposure to modern LC-MS bioanalysis, working in a team of seven associates under a laboratory head.

Key responsibilities

• Gain hands-on exposure to uHPLC, triple quadrupole and high-resolution mass spectrometers and sample processors.
• Learn to develop and implement LC-MS/MS methods for quantifying drugs (small molecules, oligonucleotides, degraders, large molecules) in biological matrices, increasing sensitivity.
• Apply these methods to preclinical and clinical study samples and deliver high-quality data.
• Collaborate in a team of seven associates under the supervision of a laboratory head.

Required profile

• Ambitious master student in life sciences (molecular life sciences or analytical chemistry preferred) or in a gap year between degrees.
• Experience applying chromatographic-mass spectrometric methods in practice.
• Systematic, precise and proactive, with initiative and a dedicated attitude.
• Proficiency in English; German is a plus.

The preferred start date is February 2027. Applications include a motivation letter with desired start and duration, a certificate of enrollment or degree copy, and for non-EU/EFTA citizens a university statement on a mandatory internship.
