Biology Expert (Python) for Computational Research

The work

You will create original, computationally demanding biology research problems that require substantial reasoning. Your work may focus on bioinformatics, systems biology, or molecular modeling and should reflect real research workflows.

You will write clear problem statements, develop answers, and verify them with Python and standard computational biology libraries. Verification steps must be reproducible so others can check the results.

• Design text-based computational biology research problems.
• Create problems that require non-trivial reasoning and substantial computation.
• Solve and validate problems using Python.
• Use standard computational biology libraries for verification.
• Provide clear answers and reproducible verification steps.

What it pays and takes

This is a part-time, project-based contractor role. Hours vary by project phase, and the role is expected to require less than 20 hours per week.

Compensation is based on project scope and complexity within the listed hourly range.

• Pay: $15 to $60 per hour.
• Hours: Less than 20 hours per week, with project-based variation.
• Location: Open worldwide.
• Level: Intermediate.
• Requirement: A biology degree is required.
• Skills: Python and computational biology expertise.
• Relevant areas: Bioinformatics, systems biology, or molecular modeling.
