About the job
Please submit your CV in English and specify your English proficiency level.
Mindrift facilitates connections between specialists and project-based AI opportunities with leading technology firms, concentrating on the testing, evaluation, and enhancement of AI systems. This role is project-based and does not entail permanent employment.
Role Responsibilities
While each project encompasses distinct tasks, contributors may:
- Develop original computational biology problems that replicate genuine biology research workflows;
- Create Python programming challenges to solve (utilizing Numpy, SciPy, BioPython);
- Ensure challenges are computationally demanding and cannot be resolved manually within reasonable timeframes (days/weeks);
- Design problems necessitating complex reasoning chains in bioinformatics, systems biology, and molecular modeling;
- Base problems on authentic research issues or practical applications from biological practice;
- Validate solutions using Python with standard computational biology libraries;
- Clearly document problem statements and provide verified correct solutions.
Candidate Profile
This opportunity is ideal for biology specialists with Python experience who are interested in part-time, non-permanent projects. The ideal candidate will possess:
- A degree in Biology or a related field;
- Proficiency in Python for numerical validation. MATLAB, R, C, SQL, Numpy, Pandas, SciPy, domain-specific libraries, or knowledge of any programming language can also be considered;
- A minimum of 2 years of professional experience: applied, research, or teaching experience is acceptable;
- Experience in biological data analysis and algorithms;
- Familiarity with bioinformatics tools and computational methods;
- Strong written English skills (C1+ level).
Process Overview
Apply → Pass qualifications → Join a project → Complete tasks → Get compensated.
Project Time Commitment
