About this job

This role involves evaluating how well AI models can perform computational biology tasks. Computational biologists and bioinformaticians will design realistic analysis scenarios from their own work, run them through AI systems, and grade the results against professional standards to help benchmark model capabilities.

What you'll do

  • Design realistic analysis tasks including scenarios, prompts, and necessary data files from your own workflows.
  • Run tasks through frontier AI agents and grade their deliverables against professional standards.
  • Write clear grading rubrics explaining why responses pass or fail based on statistical and biological correctness.
  • Identify concrete failures in AI outputs such as ignored batch effects, incorrect statistical tests, or mishandled data.
