About the job
Please submit your CV in English, including your level of English proficiency.
Mindrift connects talented professionals with project-based AI opportunities for leading technology firms, emphasizing the testing, assessment, and enhancement of AI systems. This role is project-based and does not involve permanent employment.
Opportunity Overview
Each project presents its own unique challenges, and contributors may be required to:
- Develop original computational biology problems that mirror real-world biological research workflows;
- Create Python-based problems that necessitate programming skills (utilizing Numpy, SciPy, BioPython);
- Ensure the problems are computationally intensive, with solutions that cannot be achieved manually within practical timeframes (days/weeks);
- Design problems that require complex reasoning in bioinformatics, systems biology, and molecular modeling;
- Base challenges on actual research issues or practical applications from the field of biology;
- Validate solutions using Python and standard computational biology libraries;
- Clearly document problem statements and provide verified correct solutions.
Qualifications We Seek
This opportunity is ideal for biology experts with Python experience who are open to part-time, non-permanent projects. Preferred candidates will possess:
- A degree in Biology or a related field;
- Proficiency in Python for numerical validation. Equivalent experience with MATLAB, R, C, SQL, Numpy, Pandas, SciPy, domain-specific libraries, Stata, or any programming language is acceptable;
- At least 2 years of professional experience, including applied, research, or teaching roles;
- Experience with biological data analysis and algorithms;
- Familiarity with bioinformatics tools and computational methodologies;
- Strong written English skills (C1 level or higher).
How the Process Works
Apply → Pass qualifications → Join a project → Complete tasks → Receive payment
Project Commitment
For this project, it is estimated that tasks will require approximately 10–20 hours per week during active phases, depending on project needs. This estimate is not a guaranteed workload and applies only while the project is ongoing.
Compensation Details
Contributors can earn up to $35 per hour, contingent upon their expertise and contribution pace. Compensation varies by project based on scope, complexity, and required skill sets. Other projects on the platform may offer different earning potentials based on their specifications.
