Plant Science Intern

At Source.ag, we're on a mission to power a sustainable future by leveraging cutting-edge A.I. in greenhouse technology to deliver more fresh produce to the world.

Our values drive everything we do to support this mission, it’s the way how we work, collaborate and achieve our goals:

🧑‍🌾 All In for our Growers: We work closely with growers, prioritizing their needs.

🌈 Strength through Diversity: We embrace different perspectives and backgrounds, fostering a culture of mutual respect, inclusion, and collaboration.

🌟 Learn-Adapt-Succeed: We grow through continuous feedback, learning, and dedication. 

🚀 Driven to Deliver: We are dedicated to delivering impactful results and plant solutions that shape the future of food production.

🌱 Plant Solutions: We plant solutions that shape the future of food production.

Are you passionate about sustainable agriculture and ready to make a real impact on how we grow food? Our company builds cutting-edge AI-based tools that help vegetable growers produce more, better harvests with fewer resources.

We're looking for a hands-on Plant Science Intern to join our team and bridge the gap between practical growing experience and innovative software solutions.

At our core, we believe in supporting growers with intelligent tools. As a Plant Science Intern, you'll work closely with our plant scientists, data experts, and software engineers to translate real-world cultivation challenges into data-driven solutions. Depending on our project topic, you will conduct greenhouse experiments, interview growers and industry experts. This isn't a lab-coat research role – we're seeking someone who understands the nuances of the greenhouse environment and has practical experience working with plants.

Your project will be determined in consultation with you, ensuring it aligns with your interests and our company goals. Potential topics could include:

• Modeling pest and disease impact on harvest: Exploring how pest pressure and diseases affect crop yield and quality, and contributing to models that predict and mitigate these impacts.

• Understanding the nutrient mix in irrigation: Researching the nutrient composition of greenhouse irrigation medium and connecting it to greenhouse climate and plant traits.

If you have a knack for problem-solving, a desire to learn, and an interest in how data and technology can change agriculture, we want to hear from you!
