You will work alongside lab managers, scientists, and analysts to understand real lab processes and build practical, reliable tools that make everyday lab work faster and more consistent. This is a great fit for a student who enjoys working at the intersection of science, data, and automation.

What You’ll Do

Support automation of manual lab workflows such as data processing, QC review, and report generation. Develop and test Python scripts or tools for data analysis, cleanup, and automation. Help prototype and evaluate AI-assisted tools (e.g., large language models, AI agents) for practical lab applications. Assist with connecting instrument data to lab systems (e.g., LIMS) and reducing manual Excel/CSV handling. Document workflows, assumptions, and usage instructions for tools you help build. Collaborate with lab staff to gather requirements and improve tools based on feedback.
