Job description

Description

Please submit your CV in English and indicate your level of English proficiency.

Mindrift connects specialists with project-based AI opportunities for leading tech companies, focused on testing, evaluating, and improving AI systems. Participation is project-based, not permanent employment.

What this opportunity involves

While each project involves unique tasks, contributors may:

• Design original computational biology problems that simulate real biology research workflows;
• Create problems requiring Python programming to solve (using Numpy, SciPy, BioPython);
• Ensure problems are computationally intensive and cannot be solved manually within reasonable timeframes (days/weeks);
• Develop problems requiring non-trivial reasoning chains in bioinformatics, systems biology, and molecular modeling;
• Base problems on real research challenges or practical applications from biology practice;
• Verify solutions using Python with standard computational biology libraries;
• Document problem statements clearly and provide verified correct answers.

What we look for

This opportunity is a good fit for biology specialists with experience in Python open to part-time, non-permanent projects. Ideally, contributors will have:

• Degree in biology or related fields;
• Python proficiency for numerical validation. MATLAB, R, C, SQL, Numpy, Pandas, SciPy, domain-specific libraries, Stata, or knowledge of any programming language can be equivalent;
• 2+ years of professional experience: applied, research, or teaching experience is applicable;
• Experience with biological data analysis and algorithms;
• Familiarity with bioinformatics tools and computational methods;

Project time expectations

For this project, tasks are estimated to require around 10–20 hours per week during active phases, based on project requirements. This is an estimate, not a guaranteed workload, and applies only while the project is active.

Compensation

On this project, contributors can earn up to $35 per hour equivalent, depending on their level and pace of contribution.

Compensation varies across projects depending on scope, complexity, and required expertise. Please note that other projects on the platform may offer different earning levels based on their requirements.
