We are seeking a highly innovative and motivated scientist to join the gRED Research Pathology Department as a Senior Principal/Distinguished Scientist/Senior Fellow (rank equivalent to assistant / associate / full professor in academia).  This scientist will support our expanding emphasis on digital pathology, image analysis, and machine learning. This position will have a shared focus on enabling the digital transformation of our pathology strategies, through interfacing with key informatics and data management stakeholders as well as leading projects generating digital pathology data, in collaboration with pathologists and computer vision scientists within the department and across the gRED organization.

The candidate will bring additional informatics and digital pathology expertise into our division, have an interest in working within a highly collaborative, multidisciplinary environment (including bioinformatics, image acquisition and analysis, as well as oncology, immunology, neuroscience, and biomarker development), and have the ability to forge strong links with individual contributors and cross-functional teams. Opportunities exist for outstanding scientific candidates to advance Genentech’s drug discovery and development programs through independent research, supported by a team of histopathology scientific researchers. For candidates with anatomic pathology expertise, opportunities would allow pathologic consultation and/or interpretation for preclinical and/or translational applications of tissue-based assays.  We seek candidates who can utilize digital pathology and work with image analysis scientists in the context of a detailed and current understanding of molecular, cellular, and systems biology. 

The Department of Research Pathology is embedded within Genentech’s Research and Early Development (gRED) Organization, and works to ensure that strategies for the treatment and cure of disease are based on accurate analyses of pathogenic mechanisms. The Department pathologists collaborate with and provide expert pathology support to research scientists in the discovery, characterization, and preclinical development of novel therapeutic products for a variety of human diseases. The scientist support effort includes participation on teams devoted to the development of predictive and prognostic markers in many of these diseases. At Genentech, our scientists have access to cutting edge equipment and techniques, and pathology core laboratory facilities and personnel. The core laboratories include necropsy,  clinical pathology, tissue banking, histopathology (including immunohistochemistry and in situ hybridization), translational tissue technologies including spatial ‘omics (spatial proteomics and spatial transcriptomics), and advanced light microscopy, including confocal microscopy, electron microscopy, and digital pathology scanning and image analysis.

Qualifications

• You have a PhD, MD, DVM, DO or dual degree. A demonstrable track record and/or primary interest in conducting pathology-based research is required. 
• You have advanced training in Medical or Pathology Informatics, potentially including a Fellowship, Ph.D. degree in a related field, or equivalent experience.  
• You are passionate about collaborative, at-scale digital pathology projects, potentially including digital transformation of pathology reporting, whole slide image scanning and data management, or digital pathology image analysis algorithm development.
• You have demonstrated understanding of the application of artificial intelligence and machine learning or deep learning in the digital pathology, imaging, or computer vision field.
• You are self-motivated and can distill complex issues and clearly articulate innovative  solutions in a team environment. 
• You have excellent scientific communication skills: verbally and in writing; in informal 1-1 settings, team meetings, and formal seminars. Effective communication is essential and includes presentations at cross-functional teams, internal review committees, and external conferences, in addition to writing reports and collaborative scientific publication.
• You have demonstrated learning agility, adaptability, collaborative skills, strong influencing skills and delivering results through teamwork.
• You have a strong desire to contribute to our mission of translating basic science and  expertise into meaningful, long-lasting benefit for patients.
