  Postdoctoral program activities include:

  • Annual Offsite Meeting
    Attended by research directors and science VPs, the scientific program includes a keynote speaker from outside of Genentech and postdocs present their work.
  • Onsite Postdoctoral Meetings
    Held twice monthly, two postdocs present their latest research at each meeting.
  • Postdoc Seminar Series
    As part of an annual seminar series, postdocs invite and host 10 to 12 speakers of their choosing.
• Application Process

  To apply, consult the postdoctoral job postings and follow the given instructions. Your materials will automatically be sent to the appropriate parties.

  Select candidates will be invited to visit Genentech. There they will present a seminar on their research and meet with an interview team consisting of scientists, postdocs, and the director of the relevant research department.
