Genomics Researcher – Fully Remote | Upto $100/hr

About This Opportunity

Our talent team is representing a confidential AI research organization seeking a Genomics Researcher for fully remote contract work. This role focuses on designing computational challenges in bioinformatics and single-cell genomics to evaluate advanced AI systems.

This is a contract position requiring 15–20 hours per week, working remotely from the United Kingdom.

Responsibilities

• Design challenging computational problems to test AI systems using real scientific software and workflows
• Create problems requiring skilled use of specialized bioinformatics libraries including scanpy, scvelo, squidpy, and gudhi
• Evaluate and refine problems through iterative testing loops against state-of-the-art AI models
• Develop problems that require strategic experimental planning and queries to uncover hidden patterns in genomic data
• Work independently to refine problem designs based on feedback and improve AI model performance benchmarks

What We're Looking For

Essential Requirements:

• Graduate-level training in a relevant STEM field (MS, PhD, or equivalent research experience)
• Proven proficiency with scientific software libraries demonstrated through research publications or professional bioinformatics work
• Strong Python programming skills for writing problem setups and solution validators
• Ability to work independently and iterate on designs based on technical feedback
• Comfortable working in a Linux/terminal environment with remote compute sandboxes

Preferred Qualifications:

• Experience across multiple computational genomics tools and domains
• Familiarity with benchmark or evaluation design methodology
• Background in scientific teaching or exam/problem-set design
• Experience with computational reproducibility and containerized environments
