Description

This role is for one of our clients Compensation: $60-$85 per hour 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. Key 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. Ideal Qualifications 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. Engagement Details Duration: 4-week contract, starting in March. Tasks assigned on a rolling basis. Fully remote role with flexible working hours. Interview Process Short screening questionnaire to assess technical expertise and tool familiarity. Contract & Payment Terms Engagement on an independent contractor basis. Work can be completed on your own schedule. Project duration may vary based on performance and project requirements. Work involves only non-confidential, publicly available data. Payments processed weekly via Stripe or Wise based on completed work. Candidates requiring H1-B or STEM OPT sponsorship are not eligible.
