About the job
Please submit your CV in English and include your English proficiency level.
Mindrift connects skilled professionals with project-based AI opportunities for top technology companies, concentrating on the testing, evaluation, and enhancement of AI systems. Note: Participation is project-based and does not constitute permanent employment.
Opportunity Overview
Each project entails distinct responsibilities. Contributors may be tasked to:
- Craft original computational biology challenges that reflect authentic biological research workflows;
- Develop problems that necessitate Python programming for resolution (utilizing libraries like Numpy, SciPy, BioPython);
- Ensure tasks are computationally demanding and cannot be resolved manually within reasonable timeframes (days/weeks);
- Formulate problems that require complex reasoning chains in bioinformatics, systems biology, and molecular modeling;
- Base challenges on genuine research issues or practical applications in the biological field;
- Validate solutions using Python alongside standard computational biology libraries;
- Clearly document problem statements and provide verified correct responses.
Qualifications We Seek
This position is ideal for biology experts with Python experience, open to part-time, non-permanent projects. Preferred qualifications include:
- A degree in Biology or related disciplines;
- Proficiency in Python for numerical validation; experience with MATLAB, R, C, SQL, Numpy, Pandas, SciPy, or any domain-specific libraries is also acceptable;
- A minimum of 2 years of professional experience in applied research or teaching;
- Experience with biological data analysis and algorithms;
- Familiarity with bioinformatics tools and computational methodologies;
- Strong command of written English (C1+).
