About the job
Please submit your CV in English and indicate your level of English proficiency.
At Mindrift, we connect talented specialists with project-based AI opportunities for leading technology companies, concentrating on testing, evaluating, and enhancing AI systems. Note: Participation is project-based and does not constitute permanent employment.
Opportunity Overview
Each project presents distinct tasks, and contributors may be involved in:
- Creating original computational biology challenges that replicate actual research workflows;
- Formulating problems requiring Python programming for solutions (utilizing libraries such as Numpy, SciPy, BioPython);
- Ensuring that these challenges are computationally demanding and cannot be resolved manually within feasible time limits (days/weeks);
- Developing scenarios necessitating complex reasoning pathways in bioinformatics, systems biology, and molecular modeling;
- Grounding problems in authentic research dilemmas or practical biological applications;
- Validating solutions using Python and established computational biology libraries;
- Clearly documenting problem statements and providing verified accurate answers.
Desired Qualifications
This role is ideal for biology experts proficient in Python who are interested in part-time, non-permanent projects. Ideally, candidates will possess:
- A degree in Biology or related fields;
- Proficiency in Python for numerical validation, with equivalent experience in MATLAB, R, C, SQL, Numpy, Pandas, SciPy, or other relevant programming languages;
- A minimum of 2 years of professional experience in applied biology, research, or education;
- Experience with biological data analysis and algorithms;
- Familiarity with bioinformatics tools and computational methodologies;
- Strong written English skills (C1+ level).
Application Process
Apply → Pass qualification(s) → Join a project → Complete tasks → Get compensated
Project Time Commitment
During active phases, tasks are projected to require approximately 10–20 hours per week, contingent on project demands. This is an estimate, not a guaranteed workload, and applies only while the project is active.
Compensation
Contributors can earn up to $14 per hour, based on their experience and contribution pace. Please be aware that compensation may differ across projects depending on their scope, complexity, and required expertise.
