[UHS8CUGM] Bioinformatics / Computational Genomics Experts

Hello,

Greetings from ZettaMine!!!

Freelancing Opporunity : We are hiring Bioinformatics / Computational Genomics Experts for a short-term AI Evaluation, Agentic Genomics & Computational Biology project in : Indonesia

Role: Bioinformatics / Computational Genomics Expert

Mode: Remote

Engagement: Contractor Assignment

Start: Immediate

Mandatory Eligibility Criteria

Technical Qualification:

• Strong hands-on programming experience in Python.
• Experience analyzing biological sequence or genomics datasets.
• Comfortable working in Linux / command-line computational environments.
• Ability to design and solve realistic, multi-step computational biology and genomics problems.
• Strong understanding of scientific reasoning, data analysis, reproducibility, and computational validation.

Educational Qualification:

Mandatory: Ph.D., postdoctoral experience, or equivalent research experience in Bioinformatics, Computational Biology, Genomics, Computational Genetics, or a closely related discipline.

Preferred: Advanced research experience in variant analysis, transcriptomics, sequence analysis, phylogenetics, population genetics, functional genomics, clinical genomics, or related computational genomics domains.

Availability :

• Full-time commitment of 40 hours per week.
• Minimum 4 hours of overlap with PST working hours per day.
• Immediate availability preferred.
• Ability to maintain consistent project participation and deliver tasks within required timelines.
• Average Task Handling Time: 6–8 hours per task.

Others:

• Ability to work independently in a remote environment.
• Reliable laptop/computer and high-speed internet connection.
• Ability to work with scientific datasets, computational environments, and command-line tools.
• Ability to follow project guidelines, documentation standards, and reviewer feedback.

What You’ll Work On:

• Design challenging, model-evaluative tasks in computational genomics and bioinformatics for GeneBench Pro.
• Create realistic computational biology problems requiring AI agents to interpret biological data, write and execute code, work across scientific files, and produce objectively verifiable outputs.
• Design tasks that reflect authentic genomics and bioinformatics workflows rather than standalone biology questions.
• Work with realistic scientific data including FASTA/FASTQ, VCF, BAM/SAM, BED, TSV/CSV, sequence annotations, expression data, germline and somatic variant data, and other genomics artifacts.
• Develop multi-step analysis tasks using Python, command-line tools, and established bioinformatics libraries.
• Design tasks that evaluate higher-order scientific judgment, including handling ambiguous or messy data, identifying artifacts, selecting appropriate analytical approaches, and revising assumptions based on intermediate results.
• Create clear task specifications, input datasets, expected output schemas, and deterministic or objectively verifiable ground truths.
• Develop expert reference solutions and reproducible computational workflows that run within the provided Python-based environment.
• Validate that tasks are scientifically correct, solvable from the supplied information, and sufficiently challenging for frontier AI models.
• Develop robust grading criteria that distinguish scientifically correct solutions from superficially plausible outputs.
• Work with computational genomics workflows such as variant analysis, transcriptomics, sequence analysis, phylogenetics, population genetics, functional genomics, and clinical genomics.
• Use or work with tools and libraries such as Biopython, pandas, NumPy, SciPy, samtools, bcftools, BLAST, PLINK, or equivalent tools.
• Design reproducible scientific pipelines and workflows.
• Evaluate AI/LLM systems on computational scientific tasks where applicable.
• Ensure deliverables are well documented, reproducible, and client-ready.
• Maintain high quality and throughput while incorporating reviewer feedback.
• Communicate progress, blockers, and scientific or technical requirements to project leads and reviewers.
