Remote Senior 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
