Remote Bioinformatics Methods Scientist (PhD)-681639

**About Us** We are building the gold\-standard data layer that AI drug discovery platforms will run on. Partnered with leading AI labs, global tech companies, and top pharma, we're a fast\-growing Palo Alto\-based team on a mission to accelerate drug discovery through AI. **The Role** You don't need an AI background — you need deep scientific expertise. In this role, you'll use your research experience in bioinformatics to help fine\-tune large language models (like ChatGPT) built for drug discovery. **What You'll Do** * Perform advanced bioinformatics analyses and reproduce methods\-heavy publications to support assigned research projects. * Provide expert scientific feedback to AI researchers from leading labs, helping shape how AI models interpret drug discovery workflows in bioinformatics and computational biology contexts. **What We're Looking For** * Hands\-on expertise across multiple high\-complexity assay types, including but not limited to single\-cell methods (scRNA\-seq, scATAC\-seq, multiome), spatial genomics/transcriptomics, bulk ATAC\-seq, ChIP\-seq, Perturb\-seq (CRISPR screens), and whole\-exome sequencing (WES) * PhD in Bioinformatics, Computational Biology, Systems Biology, or a related life sciences or physical sciences field (postdocs, biopharma scientists, and industry researchers welcome) * Demonstrated ability to reproduce, benchmark, and extend methods from cutting\-edge bioinformatics publications, including implementing published algorithms and adapting them to new datasets **Offer Details** * Commitment: 15–30 hours/week (with overlap in PST) * Compensation: Highly competitive, top 10% of industry rates * Engagement: Contractor/freelancer (no medical or paid leave) * Duration: 1 month, with possible extension * Remote: Fully remote, collaborative environment Pay: $80\.00 \- $150\.00 per hour Work Location: Remote
