Nutrition Science Internship

Role Type: Internship

Location: Remote / Hybrid

Duration: 36 months

Start Date: 01 August 2026

This is not a traditional nutrition internship. You will help translate nutrition science into structured intelligence that powers NURYs AI-driven health recommendations.

NURY is building a voice-first intelligent health app for personalized fitness and nutrition, including support for users with different chronic health conditions.

Our goal is to make health guidance simple, culturally relevant, and accessible across regions, languages, food habits, and lifestyles.

We are looking for a Nutrition Science Intern to help build NURYs regional nutrition intelligence layer. You will collect, validate, and structure food, ingredient, and nutrition data to support AI-powered, personalized recommendations.

• Research Indian regional foods, meals, and ingredients, including local names, preparation methods, cultural relevance, and availability.
• Map nutritional values such as calories, protein, carbohydrates, fats, fibre, iron, calcium, magnesium, zinc, folate, vitamins, sodium, and sugar.
• Classify foods as recommended, limited, occasional, or avoid based on health context, preparation method, region, and individual user needs.
• Analyse food suitability for PCOS, diabetes risk, obesity, thyroid imbalance, anaemia, pregnancy, fertility planning, food allergies, lactose intolerance, gluten sensitivity, and high blood pressure.
• Suggest healthier ingredients, preparation methods, and meal alternatives.
• Support cycle-aware nutrition mapping.
• Help create regional food intelligence across India, including state-specific and city-specific meal examples.
• Validate nutrition claims using credible scientific sources and ensure recommendations are safe, culturally sensitive, and non-medical.

• Pursuing or recently completed a B.Sc. or M.Sc. in Nutrition, Dietetics, Food Science, Clinical Nutrition, Public Health Nutrition, or a related field.
• Final-year students and recent graduates are encouraged to apply.
• Good understanding of macronutrients and micronutrients.
• Strong research, data validation, spreadsheet, and database organisation skills.
• Interest in womens health, menstrual health, preventive wellness, diabetes, obesity, and culturally relevant nutrition.
• Ability to communicate nutrition data clearly and accurately.

• Knowledge of Indian regional diets and food habits.
• Indian language skills such as Hindi, Kannada, Tamil, Telugu, Marathi, Bengali, or other regional languages.
• Experience with nutrition databases, meal planning, Airtable, Notion, Google Sheets, or other structured data tools.
• Understanding of PCOS, anaemia, thyroid health, diabetes, obesity, or womens health nutrition.

You may contribute to:

• Regional food and ingredient databases.
• Nutrition value mapping.
• Food restriction and suitability matrices.
• Healthy ingredient and meal alternatives.
• Cycle-phase nutrition frameworks.
• Regional meal examples.
• Scientific validation notes.

• Build regional food intelligence and personalized recommendation logic.
• Gain experience in startup product development and health-tech personalization.
• Work with an international and impact-driven startup team.
• Participate in daily Scrum stand-ups and weekly sprint reviews.
• Use tools such as Google Sheets, Airtable, Notion, ChatGPT, Gemini, Perplexity, Jira, and Python.
• Contribute to 500+ validated regional food entries, nutrition suitability matrices, PCOS datasets, AI-ready nutrition databases, and regional meal recommendations.
• Receive a performance-based stipend.
• Potential opportunity to transition into a full-time role, where applicable.

• Curious, detail-oriented, scientifically minded, and passionate about helping people make better health choices.
• Interested in culturally relevant nutrition and personalized health guidance.
• Available for a minimum of 24 hours per week.
