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. Fully remote and asynchronous scheduling. Initial commitment of 1–2 months, with opportunities for extension. Compensation and Legal Details You will be legally classified as an hourly contractor for Mercor We will pay you out at the end of each week via Stripe Connect About Mercor Mercor is a $2B company that connects elite talent with leading AI research labs and is headquartered in San Francisco, CA.
