Cultivarium is a Focused Research Organization (FRO) with a mission to accelerate the adoption of novel microorganisms for biotechnology. We are looking for someone who can contribute both individually and as part of a team to create tangible solutions for a ‘moonshot’ project. You will be part of a close-knit, driven team of scientists and engineers that are building technological infrastructure for the cultivation of non-model microorganisms, to open new avenues for science, technology, medicine, and agriculture.
We are seeking an AI Software Engineer Intern to help automate lab workflows using large language models (LLM) to translate scientific language into machine level instructions, with the goal of enhancing the productivity of our lab scientists. This position offers a hands-on opportunity for a student to apply artificial intelligence (AI) and software engineering skills in a dynamic biotech environment. The length of the internship is 3 months with the possibility of extension.
You will create an impact by leveraging your software development, AI, and problem-solving skills to streamline complex scientific workflows. Your focus will be on interpreting and transforming scientific language into structured, automated processes that empower lab scientists to conduct experiments more efficiently.
We are an Equal Employment Opportunity employer that proudly pursues and hires a diverse workforce. We do not make hiring or employment decisions on the basis of race, color, religion or religious belief, ethnic or national origin, nationality, sex, gender, gender-identity, sexual orientation, disability, age, military or veteran status, or any other characteristic protected by applicable local, state, or federal law or company policy.
