Remote About the Opportunity We’re seeking experienced bioinformatics professionals to create scientific data-analysis tasks for AI model training. You’ll work with real biological datasets, develop reproducible computational analyses, and evaluate results to ensure scientific accuracy and clear interpretation.

Key Responsibilities
• Complete realistic, multi-step bioinformatics data-analysis tasks.
• Create original scientific questions with exact, objectively verifiable answers.
• Select and anonymize datasets from public repositories or eligible private research data.
• Use scientific software, code, and command-line tools to produce reproducible analyses.
• Develop Jupyter validation notebooks in Python or R to reproduce correct answers.
• Interpret findings in biological or translational contexts, documenting assumptions, uncertainty, and conclusions.
• Deliver structured outputs and clear scientific explanations. Required Qualifications
• Master’s degree, PhD, or equivalent research experience in Bioinformatics, Computational Biology, Genomics, Statistical Genetics, Quantitative Biology, or a related field.
• Hands-on experience analyzing sequencing and omics data, such as RNA-seq, WGS/WES,



variant calling, metagenomics, or proteomics.
• Familiarity with tools such as samtools, bcftools, bedtools, BWA, Bowtie2, or BLAST.
• Programming experience with Python (pandas, Biopython, pysam) or R/Bioconductor (DESeq2, edgeR, limma, GenomicRanges).
• Ability to create and run Jupyter notebooks that reproduce analytical results.
• Solid scientific writing and communication skills. Preferred Qualifications
• Access to unpublished or private datasets that you have permission to share.
• Specialized expertise in a niche area, such as non-model organisms, unusual assays, or advanced genomic interpretation.
• Experience designing reproducible computational workflows and validating scientific results. Compensation
• $90–$110 per hour.
• Remote hourly contract.
• Flexible work involving scientific analysis and AI training data development. Application Process
• Submit your application and relevant academic or research experience.
• Describe your expertise in sequencing data, omics analysis, and bioinformatics tools.
• Complete any required technical screening or assessment.
• Begin contributing datasets, reproducible analyses, and validated scientific tasks after selection and onboarding.
