What is the difference between Internship Seed Science vs Seed Technologist?

AspectInternship Seed ScienceSeed Technologist
CredentialsTypically pursuing or recent graduate in agriculture, biology, or related fieldsUsually requires a degree in agriculture, biology, or related fields; certifications may be preferred
Work EnvironmentResearch labs, field trials, and academic settingsSeed production facilities, testing labs, and quality control environments
Industry UsageEducational and training phase, often part-time or temporaryFull-time professional role in seed production and quality assurance

Internship Seed Science provides hands-on experience in seed research and development, often as a stepping stone to a full career. Seed Technologists focus on seed quality, testing, and production processes. Both roles share similar educational backgrounds but differ in responsibilities and career stages.

What is an Internship in Seed Science?

An Internship in Seed Science is a temporary, hands-on training position for students or recent graduates interested in the study and production of seeds. Interns typically work with seed companies, research institutions, or agricultural organizations to learn about seed biology, testing, breeding, and quality control. These internships provide practical experience and exposure to laboratory techniques, fieldwork, and data analysis related to seed development and technology. Completing such an internship can help individuals build valuable skills and connections for a career in agriculture or plant sciences.

What types of projects or tasks can I expect to work on during an Internship in Seed Science?

As an intern in Seed Science, you can expect to engage in a variety of hands-on and research-based projects. Typical tasks include assisting with seed quality assessments, conducting germination tests, helping in laboratory and greenhouse experiments, and collecting and analyzing data on plant growth. You'll often collaborate closely with experienced scientists and agronomists, gaining exposure to both fieldwork and laboratory environments. This diverse experience not only develops technical skills but also provides valuable insights into the seed development process and the agricultural industry.

What are the key skills and qualifications needed to thrive as an Internship Seed Science, and why are they important?

To thrive as an Internship Seed Science, you need a background in plant biology, agronomy, or a related field, often supported by ongoing university studies or coursework. Familiarity with laboratory equipment, data analysis software, and possibly GIS or seed testing protocols is commonly required. Attention to detail, curiosity, strong communication, and the ability to work independently or in teams are standout soft skills. These capabilities ensure accurate research, effective collaboration, and valuable contributions to seed development and quality assurance projects.

Job description

Savannah River National Laboratory is seeking a highly motivated research associate graduate fellow. The graduate fellow will assist with research that focuses on soil and groundwater remediation at the Savannah River Site and across the DOE Complex.

The Graduate Fellowship Program provides science and engineering students an opportunity to train in targeted technical areas of interest/need of the Office of Environmental Management (EM) (soil and ground water, deactivation and decommissioning, tank waste processing, artificial intelligence to include machine learning, and climate change).

The year-long, salaried fellowship will offer specialized training, leadership development, and professional networking. The fellowship stimulates the potential increase of minority students entering STEM careers at the graduate level. Additionally, a graduate fellowship opportunity provides hands-on EM field experience that could lead to a potential career opportunity within the DOE Complex.

Recent undergraduates possessing a 4-year degree while applying to graduate school are encouraged to apply. For additional Graduate Fellowship Program information please contact Theodis Chunn @ Theodis.Chunn@srnl.gov


The ideal candidate will have the ability to apply their understanding of geology, hydrogeology, geochemistry, ecology, environmental sciences, environmental engineering or related principles to design and deploy technologies that will support the missions of Environmental Management.

  • Apply advanced knowledge of geology, hydrogeology, geochemistry, ecology, environmental sciences, environmental engineering, or related disciplines to address complex environmental challenges.
  • Design, develop, and implement innovative technologies and methodologies for soil and groundwater remediation at the Savannah River Site and across the Department of Energy (DOE) Complex.
  • Conduct field and laboratory investigations to characterize environmental conditions, assess contaminant distribution, and evaluate remediation effectiveness.
  • Analyze and interpret scientific data to inform the selection and optimization of remediation strategies.
  • Collaborate with multidisciplinary teams to integrate scientific findings into practical solutions that support the missions of Environmental Management.
  • Prepare technical reports, presentations, and publications to communicate research outcomes to stakeholders, sponsors, and the wider scientific community.
  • Participate in project planning, progress reviews, and technical meetings to ensure research aligns with program goals and regulatory requirements.
  • Stay current with emerging technologies, best practices, and regulatory changes relevant to environmental management and remediation.
  • Demonstrate a commitment to safety, quality, and ethical research practices in all aspects of work.

Minimum Qualifications:

  • Currently enrolled in or recently graduated from a graduate program (Masters in a STEM related field) hydrogeology, geochemistry, ecology, environmental sciences, or environmental engineering, or a closely related field.
  • Demonstrated understanding of principles in at least one of the following: geology, hydrogeology, geochemistry, ecology, environmental sciences, or environmental engineering.
  • Experience conducting research or laboratory work related to soil and groundwater remediation, or a related environmental management topic (can be through coursework, internships or prior research assistantships).
  • Ability to effectively communicate scientific concepts, both verbally and in writing.
