Computational Biology & Bioinformatics Expert, AI Model Training

$40 - $125 per hour
Temporary

Crucial Recruiting

Computational Biology & Bioinformatics Expert, AI Trainer (Remote, Flexible Hours)100% Remote | Work When You Want | Part-Time or Full-Time | Freelance Contract | $40 to $125 per hour


Fully remote. Work when you want. Get paid for what you already know. Applying takes just a few minutes with your resume.
We are partnering with DataAnnotation to find experienced computational biologists and bioinformaticians to work as remote AI trainers and evaluate how frontier AI models handle real biological data analysis: differential expression, variant interpretation, single cell workflows, multiomics integration and statistical genetics. You bring the judgment to know when a result is real. This is project-based, 100% remote work you do from home on your own schedule, alongside a current job, including evenings and weekends.
Already have a DataAnnotation account? This opportunity runs through our partnership with DataAnnotation. If you have already taken a DataAnnotation starter assessment, you are not eligible to apply through this posting. If you created an account but never took the assessment, you can still apply.


What the Work Involves
  • Design realistic analysis tasks from your own practice, such as QC and interpretation of an RNA-seq count matrix, a variant prioritization report, a batch effect diagnosis or a pipeline audit
  • Assemble the files an analyst would actually use: count matrices, sample sheets, VCFs, pipeline logs, reference annotations, notebooks
  • Run those tasks through frontier AI agents and grade the analysis, tables, figures or notebooks they produce
  • Compare two model outputs on the same task and document where each fell short
  • Write grading rubrics covering the right normalization, multiple testing correction and biological reading
  • Flag concrete failures: ignored batch effects and confounders, wrong statistical tests, wrong reference versions, silently dropped samples, code that does not do what the write-up claims
Areas of ExpertiseYou need depth in at least one of these, plus enough working knowledge of the others to judge work in adjacent areas:
  • Genomics and variant interpretation
  • Bulk or single cell transcriptomics
  • Proteomics, metabolomics or multiomics integration
  • Population and statistical genetics
  • Machine learning applied to biology
  • Clinical genomics, metagenomics or phylogenetics
Who This Is For
  • 2+ years hands-on analysis of real biological data in industry, an academic lab or a research institute (time after your undergraduate degree)
  • Degree in biology or a directly related field (bioinformatics, computational biology, genetics, biochemistry and similar). Biostatistics, computer science or statistics also count when paired with substantial biological data experience
  • You write, debug and can explain your own analysis code in Python and/or R
  • You have owned an analysis end to end, from raw or messy data through to a final interpretation
  • Solid grasp of normalization, batch effects, confounding, multiple testing and statistical power
  • Hands-on practitioner: you currently do, or recently did, the work yourself as an individual contributor, not solely as a manager
  • Strong written English; you can explain clearly why a result is wrong, not only that it is
  • Familiar with AI tools such as Claude or ChatGPT, with the judgment to tell a well-reasoned answer from a plausible-sounding wrong one
  • Comfortable working independently, following detailed written instructions and incorporating feedback
Pay, Hours and Location
  • Pay: $40 to $125 per hour, depending on project and expertise. Paid via PayPal on a regular schedule. You are paid for every step you complete
  • Hours: Work whenever it suits you, including evenings and weekends. Minimum 10 hours per week with no maximum; full-time hours are available. Multi-day task timers let you spread work across days
  • Location: 100% remote, work from home. Must be based in the United States, Canada, or the UK
  • Tools: Access to the AI models you will evaluate is provided; no personal subscription needed
How to Apply
  1. Apply here with your resume. It takes just a few minutes, and there are no interviews
  2. We review your background against the role
  3. If it's a fit, we send you a link to take DataAnnotation's skills assessment. It's unpaid, takes about 1 to 2+ hours and tests domain judgment and careful reading. The assessment must be entirely your own work; AI-assisted submissions are detected and rejected
  4. If you pass, you complete onboarding and a short training project, then propose and build tasks from your own professional experience, with expert review and written feedback at each stage
Crucial Recruiting and Sidebar Talent are working together on this search in partnership with DataAnnotation via Navaday.
