This is a compelling opportunity for data-driven life scientists to shape next-generation AI evaluation benchmarks. **2\. Key Responsibilities** • Design biologically grounded problems with a single correct answer and ≥20 plausible distractors • Identify, download, and preprocess datasets from public repositories (e.g., GEO, SRA, NCBI) • Subsample and anonymize datasets to prevent metadata-based inference • Independently validate solutions through custom analysis pipelines and visualizations • Operate within technical constraints (e.g., file size, task time limits) **3\. Ideal Qualifications** • Hands-on experience analyzing sequencing or omics datasets (e.g., RNA-seq, WGS, mass spec) • Proficient with bioinformatics tools and formats (e.g., BLAST, samtools, DESeq2, FASTA/FASTQ/BAM) • Comfortable coding in Python, R, or bash, and working in Jupyter notebooks • Understanding of biological experiment design and lab-to-data nuances (e.g., batch effects) • Advanced degree (MS, PhD) or research background in computational biology, genomics, or bioinformatics **4\. More About the Opportunity** • Remote and asynchronous - set your own schedule • Expected commitment: 15-20 hours/week • Project duration: ~1 month • Potential for additional projects based on performance and interest **5\. Compensation & Contract Terms** • $65-85/hour depending on experience and geography • Paid weekly via Stripe Connect • Structured as a freelance contract - independent contractor status **6\. Application Process** • Submit your resume to get started • Qualified applicants will complete a short form assessing technical experience • Follow-up steps may include a sample task or review call • Responses typically within 3-5 business days **7\. About Mercor** • Mercor is a talent marketplace that connects top experts with leading AI labs and research organizations. • Our investors include Benchmark, General Catalyst, Adam D'Angelo, Larry Summers, and Jack Dorsey. • Thousands of professionals across domains like law, creatives, engineering, and research have joined Mercor to work on frontier projects shaping the next era of AI.
