About The Position
Mindrift connects specialists with project-based AI opportunities for leading tech companies, focused on testing, evaluating, and improving AI systems. Participation is project-based, not permanent employment. This opportunity is a good fit for biology specialists with experience in Python, open to part-time, non-permanent projects. Tasks are estimated to require around 10-20 hours per week during active phases, based on project requirements. Contributors can earn up to $35 per hour equivalent, depending on their level and pace of contribution.
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
