InternshipBioengineering/MolecularBiology

Adaptyv is building an automated lab thats let AI agents run biology experiments. We're entering the era of agentic science where AI models can now design novel proteins, propose hypotheses, and iterate on experimental results. But they can't run the experiments themselves - that's still a manual, months-long process. We're building the infrastructure that gives AI agents access to the physical world. We are one of the fastest growing biotech companies, trusted by leading biopharmas, frontier AI labs, and the techbio companies pushing the field forward. This is a rare chance to help advance some of the most important work happening in biotech today. Our automated lab is powered by a deep software + hardware stack: lab instruments worth millions of USD reverse-engineered into API-controllable hardware, dozens of devices orchestrated through complex workflows, full observability on everything that happens in the lab, processing pipelines for messy physical-world data, and AI systems that troubleshoot production results and accelerate assay development. We’re growing rapidly and are hiring for talented people to scale and support the massive demand for AI-driven wet lab experimentation. ABOUT THE ROLE This is an internship for an exceptional molecular biologist who wants to do the most serious work of their life so far. You won't shadow people or run busywork — you'll own real production workflows: cloning, protein expression, purification, and characterization, on the systems that serve our customers every day. We run a high-throughput, heavily automated lab, and we hold interns to the same bar as the rest of the team. We'll give you hard problems and a senior person to learn from, and expect you to make a real dent. For us, an internship is also the best way to find people we want to keep — do great work, and we'll want to bring you on full-time afterwards. WHAT YOU'LL DO - Run molecular cloning and protein production end to end: PCR, assembly, transformation, expres
