About the job
We invite you to submit your CV in English and specify your level of English proficiency.
Mindrift connects talented specialists with project-based AI opportunities in partnership with leading technology companies, concentrating on the testing, evaluation, and enhancement of AI systems. Note that participation is project-based and does not entail permanent employment.
Opportunity Overview
Each project presents unique challenges, and contributors may be tasked with:
- Creating original computational biology problems that reflect real-world biology research workflows;
- Designing Python programming challenges to solve these problems (using libraries such as Numpy, SciPy, and BioPython);
- Ensuring that the problems are computationally demanding and cannot be resolved manually within reasonable time frames (days or weeks);
- Formulating problems that necessitate complex reasoning patterns in bioinformatics, systems biology, and molecular modeling;
- Grounding the problems in authentic research dilemmas or practical applications within the field of biology;
- Validating solutions using Python with established computational biology libraries;
- Providing clear documentation of problem statements along with verified correct answers.
Desired Qualifications
This role is ideal for biology specialists with Python programming experience who are open to part-time, non-permanent project engagements. Preferred qualifications include:
- A degree in Biology or a related discipline;
- Proficiency in Python for numerical validation. Familiarity with MATLAB, R, C, SQL, Numpy, Pandas, SciPy, domain-specific libraries, or any comparable programming language is acceptable;
- At least 2 years of relevant professional experience, including applied, research, or teaching roles;
- Experience in biological data analysis and algorithm development;
- Acquaintance with bioinformatics tools and computational methodologies;
- Strong written English skills (C1 level or higher).
Project Workflow
To engage with us, please follow these steps: Apply → Pass qualifications → Join a project → Complete assigned tasks → Receive payment.
Project Commitment
For this project, you can expect to dedicate approximately 10–20 hours per week during active phases, based on project requirements. Please note that this is an estimate and not a guaranteed workload.
Compensation Details
Contributors can earn up to $26 per hour, depending on their level of expertise and contribution pace. Compensation may vary across projects based on scope, complexity, and required skills. Be aware that other projects on the platform may offer different pay rates depending on their specific requirements.
