Make a difference – as an intern for Information & Knowledge Management at Roche. We are looking for Knowledge Management (KM) and Computer Science (CS) enthusiasts with a keen interest in delivering and supporting advanced solutions at the interface of the Computer- and Life Sciences.

KM increases the productivity and efficiency of every one of our company’s employees. We deliver services, processes and solutions that help an organization of several thousand researchers to manage and analyze their information. During the last years we have, for example, developed state-of-the-art solutions for semantic and numerical integration, automated processes for large-scale document management, and AI based information retrieval and classification tools. All our project teams follow the agile method within a very large IT organization, but embedded in a research & development function. Our interns are part of the team – which means you share all the fun & all the pain.

Your main accountabilities will be (depending on your skills & interests):

• Support a change management team to help deliver knowledge management solutions

• Manage projects independently, and present results to your team

• Be part of an award-winning team (4 awards in 4 years) and learn about professional software development and support across a global organization (Java, Angular, Hadoop on HPC)

• Learn to run a support organization for in-house and commercial content systems, such as SharePoint, SolR, Discourse, Google Suite, HBase

• Develop a high level of understanding of global business and IT processes

• Produce marketing and educational material for workshops and training sessions

Who you are:

You’re someone who wants to influence your own development. You are looking for a company where you receive the opportunity to pursue your interests across functions and geographies. Working in a multicultural environment motivates you. As a fast learner, you actively drive the quality of the requirements.

Furthermore, you are an enrolled student in a University program (or finished your studies within 12 months from the start date) with focus on Computer Science, Life Science, Pharma, IT, Neuroscience or related fields, and you like to think creatively and tackle problems.

What you need in your toolbox:

• Ability to present ideas in a clear, comprehensive manner – yes, you need to convince colleagues

• Independent working style, yet also in a very high performing team

• You possess organizational and administrative skills

• Experience in Java and programming language would be a plus

• Fluent in English and at least basic knowledge in German

What your application should include:

Please clearly indicate your preferred starting date and duration of the internship on your motivation letter. Applications need to include a CV and a motivation letter, both merged in one document. Optionally, you could also send a proof of completed software projects (links to screencast, webpage or manual).

Due to regulations, non-EU/EFTA citizens must provide a certificate from the university stating that an internship is mandatory as part of the application documents, and an enrollment certificate for the whole duration of the internship.
