Ready to get your hands dirty... for science?

Duncan Family Farms is looking for a curious, detail-driven Food Safety Field Researcher Intern to join our team!

This isn't your typical internship-you'll be out in the field collecting real data, supporting food safety research, and helping improve practices that impact both our farms and the agricultural industry as a whole.

If you're passionate about food safety, love problem-solving, and want real-world experience (not just lab theory), this is for you.

  • Help design and set up field-based monitoring systems

  • Support installation and maintenance of data collection tools

  • Map and document sampling locations with precision

  • Learning the ins and outs of organic integrity and agronomy

  • Organize and summarize data into clear, meaningful reports

  • Assist with field trials and experimental design

  • Partner with our Technical Services team on research and improvement projects

  • Follow all food safety and workplace safety standards

What You'll Learn
  • Real-world agricultural food safety research

  • Environmental monitoring programs in action

  • Field sampling and aseptic techniques

  • Data analysis and reporting skills

  • Collaboration across agricultural teams

What We're Looking For
  • Currently pursuing a degree in Microbiology, Food Safety, Food Science, Agriculture, or related field

  • Basic understanding of microbiology or environmental sampling

  • Strong interest in food safety and agriculture

  • Ability to apply classroom knowledge in real-world settings

Bonus Points If You...
  • Have previous internship, lab, or research experience

  • Are familiar with aseptic techniques or environmental sampling

  • Enjoy analyzing data and solving problems

  • Are interested in a future career in Food Safety or Agricultural Research

Who You Are
  • Detail-oriented and committed to accuracy

  • Organized and able to manage your time well

  • A strong communicator (written & verbal)

  • A critical thinker who enjoys problem-solving

  • A team player who values collaboration

  • Professional, reliable, and eager to learn

Why You'll Love It Here
  • Hands-on field and research experience

  • Work alongside experienced professionals in agriculture

  • Build real skills that translate to your career

  • Be part of meaningful work that impacts food safety and the community
