About the job
We invite you to submit your CV in English, detailing your proficiency level.
At Mindrift, we bridge talented specialists with dynamic, project-based opportunities in AI for top-tier technology firms, emphasizing the assessment, enhancement, and optimization of AI systems. Please note that this role is project-based and does not entail permanent employment.
Role Overview
Each project presents unique tasks. As a contributor, you may:
- Craft original computational biology challenges that reflect authentic biology research processes;
- Develop Python programming problems for resolution (utilizing libraries such as Numpy, SciPy, and BioPython);
- Ensure problems are computationally demanding and not solvable manually within practical timeframes (days to weeks);
- Formulate problems that necessitate intricate reasoning sequences in bioinformatics, systems biology, and molecular modeling;
- Base challenges on authentic research dilemmas or practical applications from biological practice;
- Validate solutions through Python and established computational biology libraries;
- Clearly document problem statements and provide verified solutions.
Ideal Candidate Profile
This opportunity suits biology experts experienced in Python, seeking part-time, non-permanent projects. The ideal candidates will possess:
- A degree in Biology or a related area;
- Proficiency in Python for numerical analysis; experience with MATLAB, R, C, SQL, Numpy, Pandas, SciPy, domain-specific libraries, Stata, or knowledge of any programming language will be considered equivalent;
- A minimum of 2 years of relevant experience: applied, research, or teaching background is applicable;
- Experience in biological data analysis and algorithm development;
- Familiarity with bioinformatics tools and computational techniques;
- Proficient written English skills (C1+).
