About the Role

A small intern team will spend 10 weeks experimenting with how modern AI tooling (LLMs, OCR, and adjacent systems) could move our report authors from blank templates to populated first drafts that humans then review, edit, and finalize.

The project starts from a blank canvas. The team will focus on one line of business and one document type, work directly with report authors to understand the current workflow, and deliver a working prototype plus an honest recommendation on whether to invest further. The project will be shaped to align with the team's strengths and interests – what you see here is the starting point, not the finish line.

What You'll Do Here

• Interviewing report authors to understand how they actually work – the workflow on paper vs. the workflow in real life

• Mapping the current authoring process and identifying where the real friction lives

• Defining what "good" looks like for an AI-generated first draft – and what would make an author trust (or distrust) one

• Sketching how a human reviewer would interact with AI-drafted content: what to show, what to hide, how edits flow

• Working closely with the engineering interns so what they build reflects what authors actually need

• Helping shape the end-of-summer recommendation from the user's point of view

What You'll Need to Succeed

• This role is more user research than visual design – you'll be defining the problem alongside the team, not styling a finished product.

• High school seniors through rising college juniors with an interest in design, user research, or how people actually use the tools they're given. You don't need a polished portfolio – but you should be curious about people, comfortable asking questions, and good at noticing the gap between what someone says they do and what they actually do.

• Excellent communication skills

• You should apply even if you don't tick every box. If the project sounds exciting and you can point to a time you've tried to understand how someone uses something – a friend, a family member, a stranger, yourself – that's enough to start a conversation.

Altasciences strives to provide a French working environment for its employees in Quebec. Although as part of its francization program has taken all reasonable steps to avoid imposing the above-mentioned requirement. Fluency in English is an essential requirement for the position of Process Innovation - Design Intern including, but not limited to, for the following reasons:

• The requirement to have study protocols, designs and clinical research documents written and documented in English as required by industry regulatory agencies.

• The employee communicates frequently with Altasciences employees across Canada and the United States. As such, English is the main language used to correspond between offices.

In Lieu of a Cover Letter

Please choose 2 of the 4 questions below and answer each in 30–60 words.

We're looking for answers that sound like you. Specifics – real people, actual questions, and genuine moments – matter more than polish. The questions themselves are viable parts of your answer; you don't need to repeat them back. Short and honest beats long and impressive.

• Describe your personal approach to when you do or don't use AI.

• Describe a system – technical or otherwise – you use to keep yourself organized on a project, and what about it works for you.

• Describe a problem you noticed outside of school or work and decided to do something about. Focus on what made you notice it, not what you did about it. Include at least one detail that's specific to your situation.

• What's something you find yourself thinking about that most people you know don't?
