Internship Bio-informatics

Internship Bioinformatics

Looking for a versatile internship where you can indulge your passion for genetics within a small but knowledge-intensive organisation? Then you're in the right place at Agrico Research. Your efforts will provide an important addition to the existing activities for our breeding programme. As soon as you do an internship with us, you will notice how dynamic our world is, that of the best potato varieties for international markets. A professional environment with fine colleagues.

The internship position is currently filled.

We will be available for new interns again from February 2026.

• Location: Bant
• Education: Bioinformatics
• Working week: 36-40 hours
• Compensation: € 500 per month
• Internship: traineeship with room to complete assignments
• Period: the internship period will be arranged in mutual consultation

What will you do?

During your internship, you will be part of our research team consisting of about eight colleagues. To analyse and interpret data on our breeding material, you will combine biological insights, genetic data and statistics. You design experiments in consultation with your colleagues from the biotech team. You make the information obtained suitable for application in practical breeding. Techniques include genetic prediction (genomic selection) and marker assisted breeding via GWAS and QTL mapping. You will gain broad experience in bioinformatics tasks within potato breeding.

Affinity with plant breeding is an advantage, but not essential.
