Interested in a career that matters?
The Plant Biosolutions Applied Research team (PBARD) is seeking a highly motivated graduate student with a passion for software development, data science, and agriculture to develop an automated field trial data quality control tool that will improve the speed, accuracy, and consistency of data processing across our global field testing network.
By the end of the internship, the successful candidate will deliver a functional prototype that automates field trial data quality review, helping PBARD improve efficiency, data integrity, and confidence in research decisions.
Field trials generate large volumes of agronomic, biological, and environmental data that support product development, commercialization decisions, and innovation portfolio investments. You will design and develop a Python-based application that automates data quality review processes, identifies potential data issues, and provides actionable feedback to researchers before data are advanced into downstream analytics and decision-making workflows. The project will support PBARD's ongoing digital transformation efforts by reducing manual review time, improving data integrity, and enabling faster access to high-quality field trial results.
This internship offers the opportunity to apply software engineering and data science skills to a real-world business challenge while contributing directly to the future of sustainable agriculture.
Expected salary: $28/hr
Program Dates: May 24th, 2027 to July 30th, 2027
Position Type: Temporary position payrolled through a third-party provider
