Bioinformatics Scientist

Role Title: Bioinformatics Scientist

Role Type: Contractor

Location: Remote

micro1 is engaging Bioinformatics Scientists to contribute their specialized expertise to a customer's innovative project. In this role, you'll apply your expertise to help train next-generation AI systems. Your work will shape how models learn, reason, and perform through high-quality, real-world input. No prior experience in AI is required - your domain knowledge is what matters.

Scope of Work

• Analyze complex datasets related to medicinal chemistry using advanced bioinformatics methodologies.
• Provide detailed scientific input and content to support the development and training of AI models.
• Curate, annotate, and validate datasets relevant to drug discovery and molecular analysis.
• Evaluate and synthesize findings from biological, chemical, and clinical data sources.
• Offer subject matter expertise on experimental design and data interpretation within medicinal chemistry.
• Assess AI-generated outputs for scientific accuracy, relevance, and reliability.
• Deliver comprehensive written feedback and actionable recommendations for model improvement.

Preferred Qualifications

• Advanced degree (e.g., PhD or MSc) in Bioinformatics, Computational Biology, Medicinal Chemistry, or a related discipline.
• In-depth knowledge of medicinal chemistry concepts, including structure-activity relationships and drug design principles.
• Demonstrated experience in handling and interpreting large-scale omics or cheminformatics datasets.
• Familiarity with software tools, databases, and programming languages commonly used in bioinformatics (e.g., Python, R, RDKit, KNIME).
• Strong scientific communication skills, with the ability to clearly articulate complex ideas and technical concepts.
• Proven track record of contributing to research projects at the intersection of biology, chemistry, and data science.
• Experience collaborating in multidisciplinary or remote project environments is advantageous.
