About this position

This remote fellowship with the U.S. Department of Agriculture’s Agricultural Research Service (ARS) places the participant in the Crop Improvement and Protection Research Unit in Salinas, California, where the broader scientific focus includes the biology and management of insect vectors and viruses of vegetables.

The project centers on automated approaches for cold-chain seed distribution within biological resource systems. The participant will study how seed system workflows operate in real-world settings and analyze biological materials, environmental conditions, inventory movement, and process flows within an automated distribution center. A major part of the experience involves learning how biological materials move through storage, processing, and distribution pipelines, with exposure to genebank operations and the National Plant Germplasm System.

The fellowship also offers hands-on engagement with GRIN-Global, the biological and logistics system of record used for accession, inventory, regulatory, and distribution data. The participant may work with data entry, data quality evaluation, information retrieval, workflow standardization, and the relationships among accessions, inventories, storage locations, and regulatory metadata. The role is designed as an educational research experience under ARS mentorship, with opportunities to develop engineering-design skills and systems thinking across biological and operational domains.

The mentor for this opportunity is Nora Laptian.

Funding details

Monthly stipend of $10,149.00; amount is commensurate with educational level and experience.

What's required
