The Role

Are you excited about the intersection of AI and cancer immunology, looking to make a meaningful impact in the field of antibody therapeutics? Do you want to gain exposure to the strategic design of innovative antibody therapeutics? Keep on reading!

We are looking for a highly motivated intern to join the Lead Generation and Screening Data Science team in Utrecht. As part of this internship, you will contribute to the development of in silico datasets and simulation frameworks that underpin data-driven discovery of next-generation antibody therapeutics. The work will involve constructing realistic, assumption-based datasets derived from experimental paradigms such as multifactorial cell-kill assays and Titeseq-like sequencing readouts, enabling systematic exploration of biological and biophysical relationships. These resources will support hypothesis testing, guide experimental design, and provide a basis for predictive modeling of antibody function. You will collaborate closely with scientists, data analysts, and modelers across departments to define relevant parameters and encode them into computational models that can guide experimental strategy and data acquisition efforts.

A project outline is already set up, yet there is room for you to shape the internship in a way that fits your interests as well as your school's requirements.

Responsibilities

• Design and implement in silico datasets and simulation workflows reflecting key experimental or biological hypotheses.

• Explore how synthetic data can inform design-of-experiments (DoE), model-based analyses, and quantitative modeling approaches.

• Develop a modular, well-documented framework for dataset generation and reproducibility.

• Collaborate with subject-matter experts to formalize assumptions into computationally testable scenarios.

• Communicate findings effectively to interdisciplinary project teams.

Requirements

• Actively enrolled in a Master's degree program at a Dutch university, or in an HBO-level Bachelor's program in Bioinformatics, Biomedical Sciences, Computer Sciences, or a related field. Basic understanding of biological concepts is a must!

• Available for a minimum of 7 months.

• Strong interest in data-driven research, simulation, and experimental design.

• Proficiency in Python (preferred) or R, and familiarity with data analysis and machine learning.

• Effective (English) communication skills and comfort collaborating across scientific disciplines.

• A creative and analytical mindset, with an eagerness to develop computational tools from concept to implementation.

General Information

• Internship duration: 7-10 months.

• Start date: 1 February 2026 (or later).

• Location: Utrecht, Netherlands

• This is a full-time hybrid internship position (3 days onsite, 2 days remote).

What's Next?

Help us learn about you by submitting a complete and thoughtful application, which includes your CV and motivation letter. These are a way for us to initially get to know you, so it's important to complete all relevant questions to ensure we have as much information about you as possible. We look forward to receiving your application and exploring the possibility of you joining our team to contribute to the advancement of antibody therapeutics!
