Job summary

DataAnnotation is seeking experienced computational biologists to design realistic AI evaluation tasks, run them through frontier AI agents, and grade the outputs against professional standards. You will write clear rubrics and explain decisions, flagging issues with concrete evidence.

The role requires 3+ years of hands-on data analysis in bioinformatics, with proficiency in Python and/or R. Master’s or PhD is preferred, and applications from the UK, US, Canada, or beyond are welcome.

Qualifications

• 3+ years hands-on analyzing real biological data in industry, an academic lab, or a research institute (counted after undergraduate study).
• Proficient in Python and/or R (at least one required, both preferred).
• Depth in at least one: genomics and variant interpretation; bulk or single-cell transcriptomics; proteomics/metabolomics/multiomics; population and statistical genetics; ML applied to biology; clinical genomics; metagenomics or phylogenetics.
• Owned a multistep analysis end to end, from raw/messy data to final interpretation, and can judge whether a result is real.

Responsibilities

• Design realistic analysis tasks from your workflows: the scenario, the prompt, and necessary files (count matrices, sample sheets/metadata, VCFs, logs, QC output, notebooks).
• Run tasks through frontier AI agents and grade the deliverable against professional standards.
• Write clear grading rubrics and explain why a response passes or fails.
• Flag concrete failures with evidence: batch effects, ignored confounders, wrong tests or uncorrected p-values, misused reference versions, dropped samples, or faulty code.
