Bioinformatics Expert

Help shape the future of AI by designing challenging bioinformatics problems that test and improve reasoning in cutting-edge models.Location: RemoteType: Contract / Part-timeCommitment: 20 hours per weekCompensation: Up to 40 USD / hrProject duration: 2 months, with potential extensionAvailability: Immediate startAbout the roleWe create high-quality STEM training data for frontier AI models. Our data is used directly in training and evaluation pipelines at leading AI labs to improve model reasoning in technical domains.We are looking for experts in Bioinformatics to design rigorous, deterministic problems that are genuinely challenging for state-of-the-art AI systems. Each problem must have exactly one verifiable correct answer and be submitted together with a complete, verified solution.What you’ll doDesign advanced bioinformatics problems for frontier AI training and evaluationCreate deterministic problems with exactly one correct answerWrite complete, verified solutions and clearly document the reasoning processDevelop problems involving sequence analysis, genomics, transcriptomics, proteomics, phylogenetics, or computational biologyBuild tasks that require interpretation of biological data and multi-step computational reasoningWhere relevant, use Python, R, command-line bioinformatics tools, or specialized computational workflows to validate solutionsEnsure all outputs are technically precise, reproducible, and well-written in EnglishWhat we’re looking forMaster’s or PhD in Bioinformatics, Computational Biology, Genomics, or a closely related fieldStrong research or industry experience working with biological datasets and computational analysisStrong Python and/or R skillsExperience with sequence analysis, statistical methods, algorithms, and reproducible computational workflowsAbility to design original, difficult problems that mirror real bioinformatics workflowsExcellent attention to detail and technical writing skills in EnglishNice to haveExperience with Biopython, Bioconductor, BLAST, SAMtools, BWA, GATK, Nextflow, Snakemake, or similar toolsBackground in next-generation sequencing, single-cell analysis, structural bioinformatics, or machine learning for biologyExperience with benchmark design, scientific dataset curation, or evaluating AI systems on biological reasoning
