Summary
We are seeking a passionate and curious Discovery Fellow, eager to push the boundaries of radiobiological modeling for Radioligand Therapy (RLT). You will integrate in vitro, in vivo and in silico analyses to understand drivers of the heterogenous radiobiological response to radioligand therapies (RLTs). Your work will enable the design of better treatment to benefit broad and inclusive patient populations.
You will be part of our Pharmacokinetic Sciences, Modeling & Simulation team in Basel, Switzerland and work closely with our Oncology Drug Discovery and Translational Research teams based in Switzerland and the US.
Discovery Fellows in Novartis Biomedical Research have a unique opportunity to conduct innovative, interdisciplinary research and are expected to publish their results in leading journals. We collaborate across scientific and organizational boundaries, with a focus on powerful new technologies that have the potential to help produce therapeutic breakthroughs for patients. You will join our postdoctoral community for dedicated events, including the monthly postdoctoral seminars and our annual Research Day Symposium. All Fellows participate in our robust curriculum designed to develop scientific and professional skills. The postdoctoral term is up to 4 years.
