About The Position
Mindrift connects specialists with project-based AI opportunities for leading tech companies, focused on testing, evaluating, and improving AI systems. This opportunity involves designing original computational biology problems that simulate real biology research workflows, creating problems requiring Python programming to solve, ensuring problems are computationally intensive, developing problems requiring non-trivial reasoning chains in bioinformatics, systems biology, and molecular modeling, basing problems on real research challenges, verifying solutions using Python with standard computational biology libraries, and documenting problem statements clearly while providing verified correct answers. Participation is project-based, not permanent employment.
Requirements
- Degree in Biology or related fields
- Python proficiency for numerical validation. MATLAB, R, C, SQL, Numpy, Pandas, SciPy, domain-specific libraries, Stata or knowledge of any programming language can be equivalent
- 2+ years of professional experience: applied, research, or teaching experience is applicable
- Experience with biological data analysis and algorithms
- Familiarity with bioinformatics tools and computational methods
- Strong written English (C1+)
Responsibilities
- Design original computational biology problems that simulate real biology research workflows
- Create problems requiring Python programming to solve (using Numpy, SciPy, BioPython)
- Ensure problems are computationally intensive and cannot be solved manually within reasonable timeframes (days/weeks)
- Develop problems requiring non-trivial reasoning chains in bioinformatics, systems biology, and molecular modeling
- Base problems on real research challenges or practical applications from biology practice
- Verify solutions using Python with standard computational biology libraries
- Document problem statements clearly and provide verified correct answers
