About this role
We are seeking highly skilled Bioinformatics Experts to contribute to a high-priority evaluation project with a leading AI research organization. You will independently solve complex bioinformatics data analysis problems using large-scale biological datasets. Submit fully documented analytical workflows under a blind protocol.
This problem-solving focused role involves approaching each task independently without prior context. Tackle challenges across genomics, transcriptomics, and virology domains. Analyze datasets to derive meaningful insights from ambiguous, open-ended problems.
Work fully remote with flexible hours as an independent contractor. Tasks assigned on a rolling basis during the 4-week contract starting in March. Complete work on your own schedule using non-confidential, publicly available data.
Your contributions will directly evaluate advanced AI systems on real-world scientific reasoning tasks. Demonstrate strong independent reasoning in bioinformatics. Gain exposure to cutting-edge AI evaluation through reproducible Jupyter notebooks.
Requirements
- PhD or Master’s degree in Bioinformatics, Computational Biology, Genomics, or a related field
- Hands-on experience in at least two areas: RNA-seq analysis, Variant calling, Metagenomic classification, Epigenomics (ChIP-seq, methylation analysis), Single-cell analysis, Population genetics
- Proficiency in Python and/or R for building bioinformatics pipelines
- Experience creating reproducible and well-documented Jupyter notebooks
- Familiarity with command-line bioinformatics tools (e.g., samtools)
- Strong independent problem-solving skills with ability to work without direct guidance
