Biologist with Python Proficiency - AI Trainer - Remote

We're building a talent pool of Biology professionals with Python proficiency to contribute to project-based AI development initiatives, focused on evaluating and enhancing frontier AI models. Designed for biology specialists who enjoy deep technical problem-solving, this pipeline role is for those looking to apply their computational expertise to evaluate and push the boundaries of frontier AI models, relying on domain-specific tools such as NEURON, Brian2, OpenSim, AMICI, or MNE-Python, with verifiable, code-graded answers run inside isolated Linux environments. Key Responsibilities Identify an appropriate computational biology package and build problems whose solution genuinely hinges on that tool's core capabilities, whether biophysical models, ODE/PDE systems, biomechanical formulations, or sequence algorithms. Develop full Python solutions for each problem, providing all necessary input files, model definitions, and network configurations as required. Establish the correct numerical output and define how close the AI model needs to get, using tolerance values appropriate to the biological context. Run the problem against the AI model across multiple parallel attempts, analyzing where it succeeds or falls short, and adjusting difficulty until the pass rate falls between 10% and 30%. Tune channel kinetics, stimulation protocols, and solver tolerances iteratively, building an understanding of how the model navigates complex neuronal, biomechanical, and systems biology problems. Hand off completed tasks to a senior reviewer in your subfield and refine based on their feedback before final submission. Core Requirements Academic background in Biology or a closely related field. At least 2 years of hands-on experience in biology research, applied work, or teaching. Solid Python skills, applied to writing and validating computational solutions. Capacity to build problems that cannot be solved without specialized computational biology software. Excellent written and verbal communication skills in English. Ability to work independently in a remote, fast-paced environment. Nice-to-Have Working knowledge of one or more domain-specific computational biology tools, including but not limited to NEURON, Brian2, NEST, OpenSim, AMICI, libroadrunner, MNE-Python, or Biopython, or a demonstrated ability to get up to speed independently. Prior exposure to how frontier AI models approach complex simulation tasks. Knowledge spanning more than one biology domain, such as computational neuroscience, biomechanics, or systems biology. Familiarity with containerized or sandboxed Linux execution environments.
