Bioinformatics Expert

Role overview Create advanced bioinformatics problems that assess how well AI systems reason about biological data and computational workflows. Each task should have one verifiable answer, supported by a checked solution and clear reasoning. Work spans areas such as genomics, sequence analysis, transcriptomics, proteomics, phylogenetics, and computational biology.

Responsibilities - Develop original, challenging problems grounded in realistic bioinformatics work. - Ensure each problem is deterministic and has exactly one correct answer. - Write and verify complete solutions, documenting the reasoning clearly. - Build tasks that require biological data interpretation and multi-step computation. - Use Python, R, command-line tools, or specialized workflows to validate results where appropriate. - Keep submissions precise, reproducible, and clearly written in English.

Requirements - A master’s or doctoral degree in bioinformatics, computational biology, genomics, or a related field. - Research or industry experience analyzing biological datasets. - Strong Python and/or R skills. - Experience with sequence analysis, statistical methods, algorithms, and reproducible workflows. - Ability to create original problems that demand more than textbook recall. - Careful technical writing and attention to detail.

Nice to have - Familiarity with tools such as Biopython, Bioconductor, BLAST, SAMtools, BWA, GATK, Nextflow, or Snakemake. - Experience in next-generation sequencing, single-cell analysis, structural bioinformatics, or machine learning for biology. - Background in benchmark design, scientific data curation, or evaluating biological reasoning.
