We are seeking highly skilled
Bioinformatics Experts
to contribute to a high-priority evaluation project with a leading AI research organization. In this role, you will independently solve complex bioinformatics data analysis problems, working with large-scale biological datasets and submitting fully documented analytical workflows.
This is a
problem-solving focused role
, where you will work under a blind protocol—approaching each task independently without prior context. Your work will directly contribute to evaluating advanced AI systems on real-world scientific reasoning tasks.
RequirementsKey Responsibilities
Solve complex bioinformatics challenges across domains such as genomics, transcriptomics, and virology.
Analyze large-scale biological datasets and derive meaningful insights.
Develop and submit well-structured, reproducible Jupyter notebooks documenting your full analytical workflow.
Apply strong independent reasoning to ambiguous and open-ended analytical problems.
Ideal Qualifications
PhD or Master's degree in Bioinformatics, Computational Biology, Genomics, or a related field.
Hands-on experience in at least two of the following 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 the ability to work without direct guidance.
Engagement Details
Duration: 4-week contract, starting in March.
Tasks assigned on a rolling basis.
Fully remote role with flexible working hours.
Interview Process
Short screening questionnaire to assess technical expertise and tool familiarity.
Contract & Payment Terms
Engagement on an independent contractor basis.
Work can be completed on your own schedule.
