The Roche Postdoctoral Fellowship programme was established within Roche to build and maintain the Scientific Leadership of the future. The programme provides leading internal scientists with the opportunity to collaborate with talented postdoctoral researchers, and leading academic research groups, from around the world.
- More specifically, the RPF Programme aims to:
- Foster creative science as a basis for innovation.
- Seek and develop new scientific knowledge; exploiting emerging science, technologies and methods.
- Collaborate and partner with leading academic research groups, for a defined period of time, on a specific RPF R&D project of strategic value.
- Develop scientific talents with a Roche Postdoctoral Fellowship for 2 to 4 years. RPFs are mentored by both an excellent internal scientist, at Roche, and a world class Academic researcher.
One of the key aims is to advance basic science and technologies that will be published in top-rated, peer-reviewed scientific journals, if necessary preceded by priority patent applications.
Currently we have approximately 80 ongoing RPF collaborations covering an exciting range of innovative, intellectually stimulating, research programmes which encompass and focus on cutting-edge scientific endeavors on a world-wide stage.

Unique aspects of research applications to the Roche Postdoctoral Fellowship Programme are that they can be submitted by any Roche scientist and get approved from within the pRED organization through a demanding scientific research proposal review process. One of the key requirements for fellowships is that the Roche mentor can identify a leading academic collaboration partner and extremely talented postdoctoral researcher.
