Position: Biology Project Team Leader
Location: Bali, Indonesia (On-site only)
Duration: 4–6 months
Compensation: Unpaid Internship (with potential for full-time transition)
Role OverviewDo you want to move beyond theory and take ownership of biological experiments that shape real outcomes?
Are you ready to explore Bali and a new culture, while leading a team working at the intersection of AI, sustainability, and innovation?
Join our SERAPH project in duckweed cultivation in Bali. We are looking for a Biology Project Team Leader to help drive this project forward, manage experiments, and coordinate the biological workstream with clarity and structure. This role is essential to our long‑term R&D strategy, as you will not only optimize duckweed growth conditions and yield, but also help guide the team, organize workflows, and turn experimental insights into scalable production strategies.
This is a strong fit for someone who wants hands‑on scientific work while also stepping into a leadership role. You will work with an international team on projects with global relevance and gain exposure to real‑world research, operations, and innovation. This is an unpaid internship with the potential to transition into a full‑time role based on performance.
Key Responsibilities- Lead and coordinate the biology side of the duckweed cultivation project.
- Optimize growth conditions, biomass yield, and experimental performance.
- Design, manage, and validate biological experiments.
- Organize and oversee day‑to‑day experimental workflows and team priorities.
- Translate biological findings into scalable production strategies.
- Experiment with different cultivation conditions and assess results critically.
- Test and validate biological production processes.
- Work closely with production, engineering, and operations teams to scale findings.
- Ensure accurate documentation, data tracking, and communication across teams.
- Support the development of a structured experimental roadmap for the project.
- You are currently pursuing, or have recently completed, your Bachelor’s/Master’s degree in Biology or a related field.
- You have a strong interest in sustainable farming practices, especially aquatic plants, as well as entrepreneurship, AI, and innovation.
- You are motivated by building scalable biological systems, not just running isolated experiments.
- Leadership Interest: You are comfortable taking ownership, coordinating people, and helping a project move forward.
- Interest in AI & Optimization: You are curious about how AI can improve agricultural and biological systems.
- Basic Technical Competency: You are comfortable working with digital tools, simulations, spreadsheets, and related software for analysis and modeling.
- Cross‑Functional Communication: You can facilitate a smooth exchange of data, priorities, and insights across teams.
- Lab Collaboration: You work well in collaborative research environments and know how to align people around shared goals.
- Prior Research/Lab Experience (a huge plus): Practical experience in experiment design, cultivation systems, or biological analysis is highly valuable.
- Project Ownership (a huge plus): Experience leading a student team, research workstream, or independent project is a major advantage.
- Can‑do Attitude: You are proactive, self‑driven, and willing to take responsibility.
- Leadership Potential: You are not waiting to be told what to do every step of the way. You can organize work, push things forward, and keep momentum.
- Learning Agility: You adapt quickly, learn fast, and can handle dynamic environments and evolving priorities.
- Ambitious: You are curious, highly motivated, and excited to grow.
- Team‑oriented: You enjoy working with others and can support, guide, and motivate a team.
- Independent Working: You manage your own time, output, and responsibilities effectively.
- International: You have a global mindset and can work in a diverse team.
- English: You have professional working proficiency in English.
- AI Tech‑savvy (a huge plus): You have experience using AI tools to improve workflows, analysis, or decision‑making.
- Leadership experience: This is not just a support role. You will help drive a real biological project and gain experience coordinating people, experiments, and execution.
- Entrepreneurial experience: Your input is valued, and your output is tangible. You will gain direct exposure to how research turns into scalable operations.
- Escape from the corporate routine: This is not a typical corporate internship. It is a fast‑paced, international, and team‑oriented environment with real responsibility.
- 25‑hour work week: Work hours are 11 AM to 5 PM, offering flexibility while living in Bali.
- On‑site housing: Housing options are available based on preference, from quieter focused environments to more collaborative co‑living spaces.
- International workplace: You will be part of an international community of entrepreneurs, researchers, and builders.
- Networking: We actively support connections to opportunities aligned with your long‑term career goals.
- Future Opportunities: Many interns continue into part‑time or full‑time positions after the program. This role can grow into something much bigger.
- Free lunch: We provide a healthy, nutritious lunch every workday at the office.
Important Note: This is an unpaid internship. We do not cover accommodation, visa, or flights. What we offer is the opportunity to build practical skills, take ownership of real project work, gain leadership exposure, and contribute meaningful innovation in a high‑growth environment.
Relocation: Mandatory relocation to Bali, Indonesia. No remote options available.
Start Date: ASAP
We encourage you to apply even if you do not meet all of the listed requirements. We value diverse experiences and are open to candidates who are eager to grow, take ownership, and contribute meaningfully to the team.
