Bioinformatics PhDs
- *About the Role**
At Mercor, we are partnering with top AI labs in applying AI to complex scientific challenges to build a state-of-the-art benchmark to evaluate the capabilities of the lab’s AI models in the field of bioinformatics.
Our goal is to test a model's ability to autonomously design and execute complex bioinformatics workflows, starting from raw sequencing data and a natural language prompt. This project requires a sophisticated blend of tool proficiency, deep biological domain knowledge, and rigorous scientific reasoning. We are seeking talented researchers to help us create these benchmark tasks using real-world, published scientific data.
- A brief 15-minute interview precedes candidate selection, with decisions typically made within four days following assessment completion. Currently, applicants **must be based** in the U.S., UK, Canada, Australia or New Zealand.
- *Why You’re a Great Fit**
You're a strong candidate if you:
- Must be a current graduate student (M.S. or Ph.D.) or hold a higher degree (e.g., Postdoctoral Fellow, Research Scientist) in Bioinformatics, Computational Biology, Genomics, or a related quantitative field.
- Experience using bioinformatics command line tools
- Demonstrate exceptional attention to detail and rigorous problem-solving skills.
- Excel in both written and verbal communication.
- *Role Highlights**
- Flexible workload: 10–20 hours weekly, with the potential to scale to 40 hours.
- Initial commitment of 1–2 months, with opportunities for extension.
