Genentech's research organization features world-renowned scientists who are some of the most prolific in their fields and in the industry. Genentech researchers have consistently published in prestigious peer-reviewed journals and have secured approximately 7,400 current, non-expired patents worldwide (with about 6,250 more pending). Genentech's research organization combines the best of the academic and corporate worlds, allowing researchers not only to pursue important scientific questions but also to watch an idea move from the laboratory into development and out into the clinic.

The Postdoctoral Program has become one of the strongest research assets at Genentech. In order to continue discovering, developing, manufacturing and commercializing medicines to treat people with serious or life-threatening medical conditions, Genentech depends on attracting and retaining top scientific talent, including promising Postdoctoral Fellows

As a Genentech Postdoctoral Research Fellow working in either Research or Development Sciences, you would find yourself collaborating with world-class scientists both at the company and beyond Genentech's walls. Our fellowships typically last four years and offer the chance to do cutting-edge research in an inspired, purposeful, and resource-rich environment. Throughout the program, you would be encouraged to present the progress and results of your work both internally and externally. As our many Postdoctoral Program alumni can attest, the program offers an unrivaled opportunity to put yourself at the forefront of science.
