This internship focuses on plant science. You will collaborate with plant scientists, data experts, and software engineers to transform real cultivation challenges into data-driven solutions. Your tasks may include conducting greenhouse experiments, analyzing data, or interviewing growers and industry experts. This role is not purely lab-based; we seek someone who understands greenhouse operations and enjoys working with plants. The data aspect will develop alongside your skills, with support provided. No advanced coding skills are required.

Possible projects will be tailored to your interests and our priorities, with examples including:

• Strawberry plant registration and harvest forecasting.
• Leaf area index refinement.
• Multi-channel LED lighting effects on plant health and yield.
• Product development for custom calculations and workflows for growers.

These are examples, not a definitive list.

• Real insight into commercial grower decision-making.
• High ownership of your work and its connection to growers' tools.
• Hands-on experience with greenhouse research and real-world crop data.
• Exposure to AI tools in a scientific context.
• Mentorship from plant scientists and data specialists.
• Skills applicable to agtech, applied research, and data-driven plant science.

• You are a Bachelor’s or Master’s student in Horticulture, Agronomy, Plant Science, or a related field.
• You have practical vegetable growing experience, ideally in a production greenhouse, from previous internships or studies.
• You understand plant growth in a commercial context.
• You enjoy working with data and are curious about coding; experience with data analysis tools or programming is a plus.
• You are excited to apply your practical knowledge within a software team.
• You are comfortable working in English.
• You reside in the Netherlands and are enrolled at a Dutch university for the duration of the internship.
• You possess a valid Dutch driver’s license, as you will frequently visit greenhouses across the country.
• You are available for at least 4 months, at least 3 days a week.
• You can work from our Amsterdam office at least 2 days a week (Monday and Thursday are our office days).

• €830 per month internship compensation (based on 40 hours a week, pro rata for fewer days).
• A MacBook for the duration of your internship.
• A hybrid work setup: part from home, part from our Amsterdam office at B. Amsterdam.
• Travel allowance for your office commute.
• Lunch provided when you’re in the office.
• Access to OpenUp for mental well-being support.
