PhD-Level Computational Biologist

Role: PhD-Level Computational Biologist

Location: Remote

We are hiring Computational Biologists to design data-centric benchmarks that test the reasoning abilities of advanced AI models. You’ll create biologically grounded “mystery problems,” build anonymized datasets, and validate solutions through custom analysis pipelines. This short-term project pays $65–$85/hour .

What You’ll Do:

• Design biology problems with one correct answer and multiple strong distractors
• Source, preprocess, and anonymize public datasets (GEO, SRA, NCBI, etc.)
• Validate answers using your own analysis workflows and visualizations
• Work within defined technical constraints
• Ensure all datasets reflect real-world biological complexity

What Makes You a Great Fit:

• Experience analyzing sequencing/omics data (RNA-seq, WGS, mass spec, etc.)
• Proficiency with tools like BLAST, samtools, DESeq2, FASTA/FASTQ/BAM
• Strong coding skills in Python, R, or bash
• Understanding of experimental design and common data artifacts
• Advanced degree (MS/PhD) in computational biology, genomics, or bioinformatics

Role Details:

• 15–20 hours/week, fully remote and asynchronous
• ~1-month project with potential follow-on opportunities
• Weekly payments via Stripe Connect
• Independent contractor position

Application Process:

• Submit your resume
• Short technical form required
• Possible sample task or brief review call
• Typical response within 3–5 business days
