About the Role
Review trainer tasks end to end, including task statements, biological and clinical datasets, reference files, pipelines, environments, reference solutions, and automated tests.
What You'll Do
- Verify that tasks reflect authentic research or clinical analysis workflows and require genuine multi-step scientific reasoning.
- Check that tools, reference genomes, annotation versions, databases, and dependencies are pinned and that pipelines are reproducible.
- Validate scientific correctness, including genome builds, coordinate conventions, normalization, batch-effect handling, statistical assumptions, multiple-testing correction, units, dosing conventions, imaging orientation and spacing, and random-seed control.
- Ensure graders verify substantive outputs such as variant calls, differential expression results, cluster assignments, binding or structural metrics, survival estimates, model performance, segmentation accuracy, and pharmacokinetic parameters rather than formatting.
- Ensure tolerances account for legitimate stochastic and numerical variation without accepting incorrect analyses.
- Ensure tasks cannot be gamed through hard-coded outputs, reading test files, or bypassing the intended analysis.
- Confirm that all data is synthetic, public, appropriately licensed, and de-identified, with no protected health information or restricted-access data.
- Screen tasks for biosafety and dual-use concerns.
You're a Good Fit If You
- Required skills: PhD Biology
- Ph.D., M.D., M.D.-Ph.D., postdoctoral experience, or equivalent advanced experience in a life science, biomedical, or medical field with a substantial computational component.
- Strong programming skills in Python or R, plus Bash, with Linux and terminal proficiency.
- Hands-on experience with bioinformatics pipelines, computational biology, biostatistics, medical imaging analysis, or clinical data analysis.
- Strong understanding of experimental design, statistical inference, and reproducibility in biomedical research.
- Proven experience reviewing code, analyses, manuscripts, or research outputs.
- Experience mentoring or leading small technical or research teams.
- Excellent written communication skills for providing precise, constructive feedback.
