R&D Intern – Biomaterials, Mycelium Leather (Unpaid Internship) Location: Remote (with potential on-site requirements) Duration: 3 months Company: MyRei Stipend: Unpaid (Potential for future paid role based on contribution) About MyRei At MyRei , we are developing sustainable, biodegradable, and innovative materials using mycelium and bio-based binders to disrupt the synthetic leather. We are currently in early-stage R&D, prototyping material behavior, and exploring the biofabrication ecosystem to create eco-conscious alternatives for tomorrow. What You'll Work On As a Research & Development Intern , you'll contribute to: Studying research papers and patents on mycelium, algae binders, and bio-inks Reverse-engineering published methods to identify new directions Brainstorming new composite formulations for flexible bio-materials Building detailed mind maps and idea trees from technical literature Supporting our bio-incubation initiatives (possible offline involvement later) Exploring biodegradable alternatives and future design directions for bio-leather Who We’re Looking For Background in Biotechnology / Microbiology / Bioengineering / Material Science Strong interest in biofabrication, biopolymers, or biomaterials Passionate about sustainable alternatives and open to deep research Willingness to work independently and adapt in a dynamic early-stage setup Ideally, hands-on lab experience with fungi or biomaterial cultures is a strong plus Internship Highlights Unpaid role with the potential to transition to a core team or technical R&D head based on contribution Learn startup-level R&D planning, mind mapping, and literature deep dives Remote-first with potential in-person lab work if accepted by any bio incubator All offline expenses (travel, stay, etc.) are self-funded initially If incubated and funded, opportunity to become part of the first technical team Legal & Confidentiality All selected interns must sign an NDA & Confidentiality Agreement to ensure protection of ideas and IP during the research phase. Your ideas and contributions will be documented, credited, and ethically protected. Why Join Us This is not just an internship, it’s a calling for thinkers, tinkerers, researchers, and sustainability enthusiasts who wish to be part of a revolutionary material science startup from the ground up.
