Remote AI Trainer for Biomedical Imaging & Genomics

DataAnnotation; Maryland; Remote; USD 55,000 - 172,000; Full time

Job summary

DataAnnotation is seeking experienced computational biologists and bioinformaticians to help train AI models. You’ll design analysis tasks from your practice, run them through frontier AI systems, and grade results to a professional standard.

You’ll assess RNA-seq and other omics data, write clear grading rubrics, and flag concrete issues with evidence. This is a flexible, remote role open to candidates in the US, Canada, UK, and beyond.

Qualifications

• 3+ years hands-on analyzing real biological data in industry, an academic lab, or a research institute (counted after undergraduate study).
• You write, debug, and can explain your own analysis code in Python and/or R (at least one required, both preferred).
• Depth in at least one of: 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.
• You’ve owned a multistep analysis end to end, from raw or messy data to final interpretation, and can judge whether a result is real (normalization, batch effects, multiple-testing correction, biological interpretation).

Responsibilities

• Design realistic analysis tasks from your own workflows: the scenario, the prompt, and the files an agent would need (count matrices, sample sheets and metadata, VCFs, pipeline logs and QC output, analysis notebooks).
• Run tasks through frontier AI agents and grade the deliverable against the standard you’d hold a colleague to.
• Write clear grading rubrics (the right normalization, the right multiple-testing correction, the right biological reading) and explain why a response passes or fails.
• Flag concrete failures with evidence: batch effects and confounders ignored, wrong statistical test or uncorrected p-values, misused reference version, silently dropped samples, or code that doesn’t do what the narrative claims.
