Overview
Apply life sciences research expertise and hands-on Python skills to projects evaluating and improving advanced AI systems.
Create, solve, and review challenging research problems within biology and related fields, using Python to analyze scientific data, develop reproducible solutions, validate computational results, and identify errors in technical reasoning or code.
Areas of interest include medicine and biomedical science, computational biology, neuroscience, molecular and cellular biology, biotechnology and bioinformatics, genetics and genomics, ecology and evolutionary biology, and biostatistics or biological data science.
Responsibilities
- Create and solve technically rigorous scientific problems within your area of expertise.
- Develop reproducible Python-based analyses, models, simulations, or data-processing workflows.
- Review scientific solutions and code for correctness, clarity, and completeness.
Requirements
- The source does not separately list required qualifications; it lists preferred qualifications only.
Preferred
- PhD, MD, or master's degree with substantial research experience in a relevant life sciences discipline.
- Strong scientific or applied research background demonstrated through publications, thesis work, computational projects, industry research, or equivalent accomplishments.
- Practical Python experience for scientific computing, data analysis, modeling, or simulation.
- Familiarity with tools such as NumPy, pandas, SciPy, Matplotlib, scikit-learn, Jupyter, or relevant domain-specific libraries.
Engagement and pay
- Pay: $60-$120 per hour, as listed on the source. Contractor role, about 15 hours per week.
- Schedule is flexible - the expert chooses hours and days, including weekends.
- Compensation is output-based: experts are paid per task that meets the project specifications; time required varies by expert, and minimum weekly submission requirements apply.
- The source states roles are typically filled within 48 hours and selected experts are expected to start their first tasks within 24-48 hours of completing onboarding.
- The process: apply and complete screening questions, complete an AI interview of approximately 30 minutes, then hiring manager review.
Eligibility
- The source states the role is global and fully remote.
