Biology & Python Expert - Freelance AI Trainer

Overview

This is a project-based opportunity with Mindrift, connecting subject-matter experts to AI evaluation and improvement work for major technology companies. The collaboration is not a permanent employment role; instead, contributors join individual assignments as needed.

Application requirements

Applicants should send a CV in English and include their English proficiency level.

What the work involves

Depending on the assignment, contributors may be asked to:

• Build original computational biology challenges that reflect genuine research-style workflows.
• Write problem statements that require Python-based solving, using tools such as NumPy, SciPy, and BioPython.
• Develop tasks that are complex enough that they cannot be completed manually in a practical amount of time, often taking days or weeks to reason through.
• Create problems that demand deeper reasoning across bioinformatics, systems biology, and molecular modeling.
• Root the questions in real-world biology research or practical biological applications.
• Check and validate solutions with Python and standard computational biology libraries.
• Produce clear task documentation and supply verified correct answers.

Candidate profile

This opportunity suits biology professionals who also have Python experience and are open to non-permanent, part-time project work. Suitable backgrounds include applied, research, or teaching experience in biology or a related field.

How the process works

Applicants move through qualification steps, then join a project, complete tasks, and receive payment.

Time commitment

During active project periods, the expected workload is around 10 to 20 hours per week. This is only an estimate and does not represent a guaranteed schedule.

Compensation

Contributors on this project may earn up to the equivalent of $45 per hour, depending on their expertise and pace. Pay can differ from one project to another based on scope, complexity, and the level of specialist knowledge required.

Additional information

Participation is project-based rather than permanent. The company states that compensation and workload can vary across different assignments.
