More from every seed

Plant Science Intern

Gravity Gardens has developed a dry, chemical-free seed activation technology that helps crops establish faster and become more resilient to stress, such as drought. Following our recent €2.6 million funding round, we are expanding our research activities at our facility in Nijmegen and are offering an internship to a motivated plant science student.

The internship

During this four-month internship, you will take an active part in our experiments, which focus mainly on the germination and seedling stages. Your tasks will include sowing, counting, measuring, recording data, and supporting the analysis of results. You will also contribute to improving our experimental methods by identifying opportunities to increase efficiency and reliability.

This internship offers practical, hands-on experience in applied plant research, working on a technology that is being developed for real agricultural use.

Your profile

  • Currently enrolled in a bachelor’s programme in plant science or a related field.
  • Fluency in English, as we work in an international team. Knowledge of Dutch is a plus.
  • A disciplined, accurate, and professional way of working.
  • A genuine interest in AgTech and practical laboratory work.

What we offer

  • An internship allowance of €300 per month.
  • Hands-on experience in a growing AgTech company.
  • A place in a team of 12 people, where your contributions are visible and valued.
  • Future opportunities. As the company expands, interns who perform well will be considered for technician positions.

Period

1 October to 1 February.
