Computational Biology & Bioinformatics Expert (PhD)

You will design, review, and critique computational biology and bioinformatics workflows used to benchmark AI systems. Your work will help assess the accuracy, reproducibility, and usefulness of biology-focused models and tools.

You will apply scientific judgment to biological datasets and explain complex findings to both technical and non-technical collaborators.

• Design and evaluate workflows for genomic, transcriptomic, proteomic, NGS, RNA-seq, variant-calling, and protein-structure analysis.
• Analyze biological datasets and recommend improvements to pipeline settings, tool configurations, and statistical methods.
• Assess biology-related AI models and tools using rigorous computational biology expertise.
• Document methods and findings clearly and explain scientific concepts to different audiences.

This is a remote, part-time contractor opportunity open only in the supported hiring countries listed for the role. The work requires advanced computational biology or bioinformatics experience and professional written and spoken English.

• Language: Professional written and spoken English at C1 level or higher.
• Education or experience: A PhD in bioinformatics, computational biology, genomics, or a closely related field, or equivalent industry or research experience.
• Biological data: Hands-on experience with NGS, RNA-seq, variant analysis, or similar biological datasets.
• Programming: Proficiency in Python and/or R.
• Tools: Familiarity with BLAST, samtools, GATK, Bioconductor, or Biopython.
• Workflows: Experience building reproducible workflows with Nextflow or Snakemake in Linux or command-line environments.
• Core skills: Strong statistical, quantitative, analytical, written, and verbal communication skills.
