May 27, 2026
Job 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 an 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;
- Strong written English (C1+).
