About this role
Apply computational biology expertise to help improve next generation AI systems through rigorous, real world scientific evaluation. You will assess how AI models reason and perform across computational biology use cases, contributing biologically grounded feedback that supports model training and evaluation.
Key Responsibilities
- Evaluate, annotate, and benchmark AI systems in computational biology scenarios.
- Assess the accuracy, relevance, and performance of AI generated outputs involving genomics, transcriptomics, and systems biology.
- Critically review scientific workflows and pipelines, identifying strengths and opportunities for improvement.
- Work with interdisciplinary teams to provide feedback on model performance in biological context.
- Document observations, scientific rationale, and actionable findings clearly.
- Explain complex concepts in writing and conversation for technical and nontechnical stakeholders.
- Stay current with developments in computational biology, bioinformatics, and machine learning for biology.
Qualifications
- PhD in Biology, Bioinformatics, or a closely related field, or equivalent industry or research experience.
- Demonstrated experience with data driven biological research and computational analysis workflows.
- Proficiency in Python, R, and Bash scripting.
- Familiarity with scientific tools such as BWA, GATK, STAR, Salmon, Seurat, or Scanpy is ideal.
- Deep knowledge of genomics, transcriptomics, structural biology, or systems biology is desirable.
- Strong scientific reasoning, analytical, problem solving, written communication, and verbal communication skills.
- Comfort working remotely as part of a distributed team.
Preferred Qualifications
- Experience evaluating AI, machine learning, or large language models in a biology context.
- Hands on experience with NGS pipelines, CRISPR workflows, AlphaFold, or PyMOL.
- Published computational biology or bioinformatics research, or open source contributions in these fields.
Work Terms
- Remote independent contractor engagement.
Compensation
- $40 to $60 per hour.
