2027 Future Talent Program – Digital Transformation Conversion – Intern
About The Position
The Future Talent Program internship lasts up to 12 weeks and includes one or more projects. In the Research and Development Division, the Regulated Bioanalytical Sciences team is advancing laboratory digital transformation by improving how assay workflows and experimental data are captured, structured, and managed in Benchling. The intern will contribute to automating the creation of assay templates and recording aids used to document clinical sample testing and assay qualification and validation experiments. The project focuses on converting prioritized Test Method documents into standardized Benchling templates. The intern will review methods, identify workflow steps, data fields, and calculations, and translate them into structured templates and clear supporting documentation. The work is intended to reduce manual template creation and data entry, improve consistency and data quality, support analytics readiness, and reduce reliance on static Test Method documents. The intern will collaborate with scientists and process owners in a regulated environment and present project outcomes at the end-of-summer intern symposium.
Requirements
- Currently pursuing a bachelor's degree in Biomedical Engineering, Computer Science, Data Science, Bioinformatics, Information Systems, or a related scientific or technical discipline.
- Strong analytical and problem-solving skills.
- Strong attention to detail and ability to interpret technical or procedural documentation.
- Ability to organize and translate complex information into structured formats.
- Ability to work independently and within a team environment.
- Experience using Microsoft Excel, Word, and PowerPoint.

Nice To Haves
- Familiarity with Benchling, LIMS, or other electronic laboratory notebook platforms.
- Interest in scientific informatics, digital lab platforms, or workflow automation.
- Experience with data structuring, template design, process mapping, or systems documentation.
- Exposure to Python, R, SQL, or similar tools for automation, data analysis, or workflow support.
- Understanding of laboratory workflows, assay execution, or regulated scientific documentation.
Responsibilities
- Review prioritized Test Method documents to understand assay workflows, critical steps, documentation requirements, and data capture needs.
- Translate Test Method content into standardized, reusable Benchling templates for structured execution and documentation of laboratory workflows.
- Identify workflow steps, data fields, calculations, and repeatable template elements for digitization and standardization.
- Support data field mapping and template design to improve consistency across methods and assays.
- Collaborate with scientists and process owners to ensure templates reflect method requirements and user needs.
- Help evaluate template usability, consistency, and alignment with regulated documentation practices.
- Develop user guidance and supporting documentation to promote template adoption.
- Summarize project progress, challenges, efficiencies, and recommendations through written updates and presentations.
- Present project outcomes at the end-of-summer intern symposium.
