Bioinformatics And Computational Genomics Expert

You will create rigorous research tasks for AI training and evaluation using real-world biological datasets. Each task should lead to one objectively verifiable answer and include clear scientific reasoning, evidence, and reproducible documentation.

• Design multi-step tasks using sequencing, genomics, transcriptomics, proteomics, metabolomics, structural biology, and related datasets.
• Source datasets from authorized repositories, follow licensing requirements, and remove identifiable patient information.
• Create reproducible Python validation notebooks that show how answers are derived from the underlying data.
• Establish ground truths using PCR-confirmed results, known gene knockouts, verified pedigrees, or other independently validated biological information.
• Sanitize file names, headers, and metadata so task materials do not reveal answers.
• Separate objectively verifiable biological facts from conclusions that depend on interpretation.
• Document workflows accurately and work with research and technical stakeholders to improve task quality.

This is a remote contractor assignment lasting 5 weeks. The work requires 20+ hours per week, including a 4-hour overlap with Pacific Time.

• Schedule: 20+ hours per week with a 4-hour Pacific Time overlap.
• Language: Professional fluency in English.
• Education: Ph.D. or postdoctoral experience in bioinformatics, computational biology, or a closely related field.
• Experience: Hands-on analysis of raw or minimally processed biological datasets in at least one major sequencing, genomics, transcriptomics, proteomics, or metabolomics area.
• Technical skills: Strong Python programming, computational biology workflows, data analysis pipelines, and reproducible notebooks.
• Knowledge: Bioinformatics, genomics, molecular biology, data quality, experimental validation, and computational research methods.
• You should be able to form unique research questions with objectively verifiable ground truths and explain scientific reasoning clearly.
• The assignment does not include medical or paid leave.
