Biology & Python Expert - Freelance AI Trainer at Mindrift · Portugal

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+).
