Biology Intern — Bali Based
Amsterdam - Netherlands
Job Summary
Monday morning the reset. What did you ship. What broke. What are you building this week. Everything you built last week is worthless. It keeps you honest. It keeps you fast.
You are reading this from the most expensive version of the old map. San Francisco still runs on the belief that a company takes three hundred people and an office tower to start. It does not anymore a company now costs twelve people and a toolchain.
My name is Julien Uhlig. Thirty years building companies New York London Tokyo the Valley and then it stopped mattering where I did it so I run it from Canggu. Entrade and Zero-X among them. Over $150M raised and deployed. The campus is 4000 sqm and I am on it every day. This is EX EPIC Academy.
WHAT YOULL WORK ON
Seraph Group decentralised bioproduction: AI robotics and synthetic biology on one platform. Your work starts with duckweed: optimise growth conditions and yield for one of the most productive aquatic plants in farming. Design and validate biological experiments and link biology to scalable production take the findings from bench to scale with the production team. You will use digital simulations and AI tools to model and optimise the processes. The science is the entry asset; the AI is trained.
The honest part: experiments fail most of the time. Your first weeks are for learning how the group runs and most of what you try will not survive contact with a live process. That is the point.
WHO THIS IS FOR
You hold a degree in biology chemistry or genetics. Deep scientific training is the entry asset for this track the AI is trained the science cannot be.
You have run an experiment and can explain what you actually learned. You are comfortable with data and digital simulations. You want your work to scale beyond the lab.
Six months on-site. Not remote not hybrid not a three-month stint.
WHERE YOU DO IT
I am onsite. So is the management team. Every day. No org chart between you and the founder. What Canggu buys is a room where the people who run the companies are physically present every day and nothing else is competing for them.
I do not lecture. One-hour calls with an agenda and I am at the desk next to yours. You watch a week from inside the room. You see what happens when something breaks. There is no curriculum for that.
WHAT WE COVER
Six months residential in Canggu. Housing workstation office space meeting rooms. The full AI toolchain tokens paid by the group.
C22B internship visa we sponsor it and we pay for it. Indonesian immigration law prohibits paying foreign interns and we do not work around that. Flights and food are yours. If that is a dealbreaker better you know now.
WHAT HAPPENS AFTER
Seventeen interns have moved into full-time roles across the group Bali Spain Germany.
We help you publish what you shipped. Distribution not a certificate.
THE RESEARCH TRACK
The strongest researchers continue into a funded PhD with Monash University in Melbourne one of 35 active collaborations alongside the Fraunhofer Institute and the German Aerospace Center.
FOUND WHILE YOU TRAIN
Bring an idea and we fund it through grants and the EX Venture Network. You can found while you train.
THE GROUP
You live with your cohort work with them daily and stay in the group after the six months end. It is our hiring pool our co-founder market and our investor network. The network is yours for life.
REQUIREMENTS
- A degree in biology chemistry or genetics
- You are comfortable with data and digital simulations
- You can explain what you learned when something failed
- Six months on-site
HOW TO APPLY
The work is the application. Send your research a thesis a project a lab notebook and what you would do differently. Not a CV.
You get a seat and findings that scale with your name on them. Everyone has a degree. Almost nobody has proof. Maybe we have been looking for you.
