About The Position

We are seeking highly skilled Bioinformatics Experts to contribute to a high-priority evaluation project with a leading AI research organization. In this role, you will independently solve complex bioinformatics data analysis problems, working with large-scale biological datasets and submitting fully documented analytical workflows.
This is a problem-solving focused role, where you will work under a blind protocol—approaching each task independently without prior context. Your work will directly contribute to evaluating advanced AI systems on real-world scientific reasoning tasks.

Requirements

• PhD or Master’s degree in Bioinformatics, Computational Biology, Genomics, or a related field.
• Hands-on experience in at least two of the following areas: RNA-seq analysis Variant calling Metagenomic classification Epigenomics (ChIP-seq, methylation analysis) Single-cell analysis Population genetics
• Proficiency in Python and/or R for building bioinformatics pipelines.
• Experience creating reproducible and well-documented Jupyter notebooks.
• Familiarity with command-line bioinformatics tools (e.g., samtools).
• Strong independent problem-solving skills with the ability to work without direct guidance.

Responsibilities

• Solve complex bioinformatics challenges across domains such as genomics, transcriptomics, and virology.
• Analyze large-scale biological datasets and derive meaningful insights.
• Develop and submit well-structured, reproducible Jupyter notebooks documenting your full analytical workflow.
• Apply strong independent reasoning to ambiguous and open-ended analytical problems.
