Biology & Python Expert - Freelance AI Trainer
Mindrift offers remote, project-based opportunities for biology specialists to help improve AI systems for leading tech companies. Contributors design and verify computational biology problems, often requiring Python programming (using tools such as Numpy, SciPy, and BioPython), develop non-trivial reasoning chains in bioinformatics and molecular modeling, and document and validate solutions. Compensation is up to $35/hour based on experience and task completion, with flexible time commitments of 10–20 hours/week during active project phases.
Candidates should have a degree in Biology or related field, proficiency in Python (or equivalent programming skills), at least 2 years’ professional experience, and strong written English (C1+). Familiarity with computational biology methods and data analysis tools (Numpy, Pandas, SciPy, BioPython, MATLAB, R, C, SQL, Stata) is essential.
This opportunity is ideal for candidates seeking flexible, expert-driven contract work in AI innovation, rather than permanent employment. Workload and compensation may vary by project scope and contributor level.
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+).
