Graduate Student Research Intern (no undergrads) at Adept Scientific

May 28, 2026
Employer: Adept Scientific Expires: 06/27/2026 Company: Adept ScientificLocation: Remote, must have access to research universityType: Paid, part-time internshipDuration: 4 weeksHours: ~10 hours/week, flexible around your lab scheduleRequirement: You must be a current graduate student in the biological sciences with ongoing access to a university biological laboratory.  About AdeptAdept is a techbio startup building an AI co-pilot app for bench scientists. Adept provides real-time, step-by-step guidance as you execute complex lab protocols. Think of it as an expert looking over your shoulder, catching small errors before they cost you a sample, a day, or a week of work. We are conducting a structured beta study to validate the app with real scientists, and we need a sharp, organized graduate student to lead that effort from inside the research community. The RoleAs an Adept Research Intern, you will be our eyes and ears inside the graduate student community. This is not a passive survey role. You will act as a peer researcher and field coordinator, recruiting fellow students, running structured testing and interview sessions, and delivering synthesized findings directly to the Adept team.Your work will directly shape the product roadmap. What You'll Do1. Recruit Peer VolunteersReach out to fellow graduate students in your program or lab network and invite them to test the Adept app. We will provide a simple screening guide to help you identify the right participants who are active bench researchers who regularly perform complex, multi-step protocols such as library prep, single cell gene expression profiling, methylseq, or similar workflows.2. Run Structured Testing and Interview SessionsUsing our provided interview guide, you will lead 60–90 minute sessions with each volunteer. You will walk participants through using Adept at the bench and gather structured feedback across four areas:Problem ValidationHow often do the first few attempts at a new protocol fail, and why?What is the real cost of a failed experiment (e.g.  lost time, wasted samples)?What are the "unwritten rules" of successful protocol execution that never make it into written documentation?App Concept Reaction & UsabilityWhat is the volunteer's gut reaction to an AI co-pilot at the bench?Would the app help them learn faster, reduce failed experiments, or improve confidence?What are their biggest concerns or points of skepticism and what would make the tool annoying rather than useful?Lab Integration & Workflow FitHas a volunteer ever abandoned a difficult protocol and switched to a competing kit?How do scientists currently check instructions mid-procedure with gloved hands?How would their PI react to this kind of tool in the lab?Future PotentialCould the app improve consistency in experienced researchers, not just trainees?Could a PI use it to "record" a novel protocol and create a reliable digital training module for new lab members?Would auto-generated, annotated protocol PDFs be valuable for lab notebooks?3. Deliver Structured Reports to AdeptAfter each session, you will submit findings using a standardized reporting template we provide. No academic writing required. We want clean, structured data:Error counts and types observed during protocol executionTime-to-task and repetitions-to-mastery metricsDirect verbatim quotes from volunteersRanked improvement suggestionsNPS-style usefulness ratingsAt the end of your engagement, you will compile a summary report synthesizing findings across all volunteer sessions. Research Questions You'll Help Us AnswerHow many repetitions does it take a student to execute a protocol error-free without AI guidance versus with Adept?Does Adept reduce time-to-proficiency (i.e., time-to-mastery)?What types of protocol errors are most common, and does Adept's real-time intervention prevent them?What feedback do scientists have about how to improve the app? Who We're Looking ForCurrent graduate students (PhD) in molecular biology, genomics, cell biology, or a related field. Non-biological sciences, computer science, software engineering, information technology, and bioinformatics students are not a good fit for this role.Active bench researchers who regularly perform complex, multi-step protocols in genomicsStrong communicators who can facilitate structured conversations with peersDetail-oriented and reliable — we need clean data, not informal notesComfortable being honest and critical; we need tough feedback, not flatteryYou must have current and ongoing access to biological laboratories at a university What You GetCompetitive compensation: $22/hourEarly access to the Adept beta app for your own personal use at the benchCo-acknowledgment in any published research findingsDirect access to a founding team building tools for scientists, by scientistsFlexible hours that fit around your existing lab and course schedule

Employer: Oak Ridge Institute for Science and Education Expires: 06/26/2026 Application Deadline 6/26/2026 3:00:00 PM Eastern Time ZoneDescription *Applications are reviewed on a rolling-basis.ARS Office/Lab and Location: A research opportunity is currently available with the U.S. Department of Agriculture (USDA), Agricultural Research Service (ARS), in the Crop Bioprotection (CBP) Research Unit located in Peoria Illinois.The Agricultural Research Service (ARS) is the U.S. Department of Agriculture's chief scientific in-house research agency with a mission to find solutions to agricultural problems that affect Americans every day from field to table. ARS will deliver cutting-edge, scientific tools and innovative solutions for American farmers, producers, industry, and communities to support the nourishment and well-being of all people; sustain our nation’s agroecosystems and natural resources; and ensure the economic competitiveness and excellence of our agriculture. The vision of the agency is to provide global leadership in agricultural discoveries through scientific excellence.The mission of the U.S. Dairy Forage Research Center (USDFRC) is to lead the world in integrated dairy forage systems research. The Center is dedicated to providing dairy industry solutions for food security, environmental sustainability, and economic viability through science-based research initiatives focused on improving dairy production systems, soil ecology, forage production, and ecosystem services.Research Project: The participant will be part of a collaborative research program with chemists, entomologists and molecular biologists/microbiologists focused on combating Varroa mites and American Foul Brood disease. Research will be focused on honey bee health to combat Varroa destrutor mite, a pest that transmit various diseases to honey bees and Paenibacillus larvae, the bacterium responsible for American Foul Brood disease. The active compounds will be extracted and isolated from plant materials from various families that are known to possess insecticidal/insect repellent properties, and antibacterial properties and from propolis that are collected from various regions. The structures of the isolated compounds will be determined by NMR (Nuclear Magnetic  Resonance) and mass spectroscopy. The active isolated natural products will be modified synthetically to improve efficacy and to determine Structure activity relationship.Learning Objectives: Under the guidance of a mentor, you will have the opportunity to learn to: detail the major threats to honey bee health, including Varroa destructor mites and Paenibacillus larvae, the causative agent of American Foul Brood disease, recognize how multidisciplinary teams of chemists, entomologists, and molecular biologists collaborate to address complex agricultural and ecological challenges, extract and isolate bioactive compounds from plant materials and propolis with insecticidal, repellent, and antibacterial properties, apply analytical chemistry methods, including Nuclear Magnetic Resonance (NMR) spectroscopy and mass spectrometry, to determine the structures of natural products, detail principles of natural products chemistry and the identification of compounds with potential activity against bee pests and pathogens, perform synthetic modifications of isolated compounds to enhance biological efficacy, investigate structure–activity relationships (SAR) to understand how chemical structure influences biological function, and contribute to the development of innovative, science-based strategies to improve honey bee health and support sustainable agriculture.Mentor(s): The mentor for this opportunity is Kumudini M. Meepagala (kumudini.meepagala@usda.gov). If you have questions about the nature of the research, please contact the mentor(s).Anticipated Appointment Start Date: June 2026.
