About the Opportunity

We’re seeking experienced bioinformatics professionals to create scientific data-analysis tasks for AI model training. You’ll work with real biological datasets, develop reproducible computational analyses, and evaluate results to ensure scientific accuracy and clear interpretation.

Key Responsibilities

• Complete realistic, multi-step bioinformatics data-analysis tasks .
• Create original scientific questions with exact, objectively verifiable answers.
• Select and anonymize datasets from public repositories or eligible private research data.
• Use scientific software, code, and command-line tools to produce reproducible analyses.
• Develop Jupyter validation notebooks in Python or R to reproduce correct answers.
• Interpret findings in biological or translational contexts, documenting assumptions, uncertainty, and conclusions.
• Deliver structured outputs and clear scientific explanations.

Required Qualifications

• Master’s degree, PhD, or equivalent research experience in Bioinformatics, Computational Biology, Genomics, Statistical Genetics, Quantitative Biology , or a related field.
• Hands-on experience analyzing sequencing and omics data, such as RNA-seq, WGS/WES, variant calling, metagenomics, or proteomics.
• Familiarity with tools such as samtools, bcftools, bedtools, BWA, Bowtie2, or BLAST .
• Programming experience with Python (pandas, Biopython, pysam) or R/Bioconductor (DESeq2, edgeR, limma, GenomicRanges).
• Ability to create and run Jupyter notebooks that reproduce analytical results.
• Strong scientific writing and communication skills.

Preferred Qualifications

• Access to unpublished or private datasets that you have permission to share.
• Specialized expertise in a niche area, such as non-model organisms, unusual assays, or advanced genomic interpretation.
• Experience designing reproducible computational workflows and validating scientific results.

Compensation

• $90–$110 per hour .
• Remote hourly contract.
• Flexible work involving scientific analysis and AI training data development.

Application Process

1. Submit your application and relevant academic or research experience.
2. Describe your expertise in sequencing data, omics analysis, and bioinformatics tools.
3. Complete any required technical screening or assessment.
4. Begin contributing datasets, reproducible analyses, and validated scientific tasks after selection and onboarding.
