PhD-Level Bioinformatics Experts

This role is for one of our clients

Compensation: $60-$85 per hour

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.

Requirements

Key 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.
• Project duration may vary based on performance and project requirements.
• Work involves only non-confidential, publicly available data.
• Payments processed weekly via Stripe or Wise based on completed work.
• Candidates requiring H1-B or STEM OPT sponsorship are not eligible.
