About the company

Magnephy is a life science startup combining advanced microscopy and AI to unlock the nanoscale of biology. Founded in 2023 as a spin-off from KTH Royal Institute of Technology/SciLifeLab after nearly a decade of research on novel methods microscopy techniques. We now offer our technology as a service to pharmaceutical companies and our mission is to provide quantitative nanoscale insights into pharmaceutical efficacy, mechanism of action, and targeting directly in tissue samples.

Having completed several successful pilot projects and grown our team, we are entering a phase of rapid expansion to build new partnerships, automatize our technology and reach new markets.

About the Internship

We are looking for curious and ambitious PhD students who want to experience the journey from lab innovation to real-world application. You’ll gain first-hand insights into the challenges pharmaceutical developers face on the path from candidate compound to commercial drug and play a role in helping them overcome these.

We are offering two different internship tracks:

Market research: In this track you would use your scientific knowledge to inform our growth strategy. Performing market research; mapping out potential customers, primarily in early- stage pharmaceutical development; and mapping out the competitor landscape.

Image analysis: In this track you would help turn biological images into pharmacological insights. Contribute to developing a fully automated analysis pipeline, from microscope output to actionable lab report. Depending on your expertise, you can focus on microscopy automation, image analysis or data processing and presentation.

Location:

Hybrid, Sting/SciLifeLab coworking space and/or distance. Other offices may be available at the time of the internship.

Time period

Either full-time 1 month or part-time for 2-3 months. Start time is flexible based on applicants preferences but recommended is either early November 2025 or after the Holidays in early January 2026

We are looking for someone:

With a background in biophysics, biology, pharmaceutics, biotechnology or similar. Fluent in English with strong presentation skills

Flexible and comfortable taking on different types of tasks Proactive and eager to take intiative and push projects forward
