About OpenTrain

OpenTrain is the #1 platform for finding and building careers in AI training and data labeling. OpenTrain AI is hiring contractors to help develop better artificial intelligence through expert-created and carefully evaluated training data.

Creating an OpenTrain account is free, and candidates can apply in minutes. This role is remote where permitted and is structured as part-time, project-based contract work.

• Contractor and part-time engagement
• Remote work where permitted by location restrictions
• Applications are handled through OpenTrain

About AI Training Work

AI training is the human side of building modern artificial intelligence. Specialists create examples, evaluate model outputs, and verify difficult tasks so AI systems can produce more accurate and useful results.

In this role, your biology and programming expertise will help train models on realistic computational research workflows. Your work will contribute to systems that can reason about bioinformatics, systems biology, and molecular modeling problems.

• Contribute to cutting-edge AI development
• Apply professional subject-matter expertise to model training
• Work remotely with a flexible project-based schedule

The Role

OpenTrain AI is seeking an intermediate Biology Expert with advanced Python skills to design and verify original, computationally intensive biology research problems. Problems must require non-trivial reasoning and must be solved and validated using Python and standard computational biology libraries.

You will create clear problem statements, produce answers, and document reproducible verification steps. Assignments should reflect real research workflows in bioinformatics, systems biology, or molecular modeling and may involve text generation, evaluation, and fine-tuning data.

This is part-time work requiring 20 or more hours per week. Work is project-based, with hours varying according to the project phase. Compensation is determined by project scope and complexity, with the listed hourly range of $15 to $60 USD.

• Role: Biology Expert
• Experience level: Intermediate
• Workload: 20+ hours per week
• Engagement: Part-time contractor
• Compensation: $15 to $60 USD per hour
• Subject matter: Bioinformatics and computational biology problems

What You'll Do

You will turn authentic computational biology workflows into challenging, well-defined tasks that can be used to train and evaluate AI systems. Each submission should be technically rigorous, understandable to a qualified reviewer, and reproducible with the required tools.

• Design original computationally intensive biology research problems
• Create problems requiring non-trivial biological and computational reasoning
• Write clear and complete problem statements
• Solve problems and provide accurate answers
• Verify solutions using Python
• Document reproducible verification steps
• Use standard computational biology libraries
• Reflect workflows from bioinformatics, systems biology, or molecular modeling
• Analyze biological data and algorithms
• Complete text annotation or review tasks when required
• Support text generation, evaluation and rating, and fine-tuning data work

Requirements

This role requires professional biology or computational biology experience and the ability to combine biological reasoning with advanced programming. Applicants should be comfortable creating and reviewing technically demanding problems rather than only performing routine annotation.

• Bachelor's degree or higher in Biology or a related field
• At least 2 years of professional biology or computational biology experience
• Advanced Python skills
• Experience with NumPy, SciPy, and Biopython
• Experience analyzing biological data and algorithms
• Proficiency with bioinformatics tools and computational methods
• Familiarity with bioinformatics and computational biology problems
• Hands-on text annotation or review experience
• CV written in English
• CV must indicate your level of English proficiency
• Application materials must include an email address and phone number

Who Should Apply

This opportunity is suited to biology professionals who enjoy translating research questions into computational tasks and carefully checking whether solutions are correct. It may be a strong fit for someone seeking flexible, part-time work that applies existing biology and Python expertise to the fast-growing AI training industry.

• Biologists with computational research experience
• Bioinformatics specialists who work with Python libraries
• Computational biology professionals familiar with algorithms and biological data
• Experts who can explain technical reasoning clearly and verify results reproducibly
• Applicants prepared to commit 20 or more hours per week
