R&D Science and Modelling Intern
About this role
Join us as Science & Modelling Intern at our international headquarters in Utrecht , starting in March 2027 . In this internship, you will support the Science & Modelling team by adapting and implementing models from scientific literature to deepen our understanding of coffee brewing processes. This a great opportunity to gain hands-on experience with advance modelling techniques and data analysis in the context of food engineering, while contributing to real-world innovation in the coffee and tea business.
Your key activities will be: Mathematical modelling of brewing kinetics, including: Adapting and implementing models from scientific literature to describe dispersive flow and mass transfer in porous media (e.g., packed beds), tailored to JDE brewing systems. Simulating extraction of dissolved solids and individual components. Fitting model parameters to experimental data. Data analysis and visualization to validate models and extract meaningful insights.
Knowledge sharing: Presenting findings to internal teams to support knowledge capture and cross-functional learning. Experimental support: Assisting with small-scale experiments when needed, to generate or validate data for modelling purposes. At JDE Peet’s we aim to create a better future where we authentically serve, reflect and embrace everyone. We believe in fostering a more diverse, equitable and inclusive organisation where everyone feels comfortable to truly be who they are and unleash their full potential.
