Genomics Intern

Posted: June 7, 2022

Closing: September 7, 2022

EVERY™, based in South San Francisco, is a leading VC-backed food tech ingredient company using precision fermentation to create animal proteins without the animal for the global food and beverage industry. Originally founded as Clara Foods in 2014, EVERY™ rebranded in 2021 to better convey its vision to bring animal-free proteins to everyone, everywhere. EVERY™ is a team of passionate change makers who are reimagining the factory farm model with a kinder, more sustainable alternative. Leveraging precision fermentation to produce hyper-functional and one-to-one replacement proteins from microorganisms, EVERY™ is on a mission to decouple the world’s proteins from the animals that make them.

We are a passionate, determined, (and fun!) team with a vital objective, and we're on the lookout for like-minded people to join our mission. Sound like you?

As an intern, you will be mentored by experts in modern sequencing technology. You will be working alongside a motivated team to perform molecular biology protocols at the bench and use computational tools to interpret results. You may be experienced in one of these areas and looking forward to building new skills. We encourage those from under-represented communities to apply.
