We are looking for Agentic Life Science Expert candidates for a project delivered through the hiring partner.
What you'll do
- Design challenging, realistic agentic scientific workflows across the life sciences.
- Create tasks requiring multiple computational steps rather than single-script or simple question-and-answer solutions.
- Develop realistic input files, scientific datasets, instructions, constraints, and expected deliverables.
- Build tasks requiring agents to inspect data, select appropriate methods, execute analyses, troubleshoot problems, and synthesize results.
- Create reproducible expert solutions and objectively verifiable ground truths that run in the provided sandbox environment.
- Design robust automated or semi-automated grading criteria.
- Ensure tasks measure scientific reasoning and execution rather than memorization.
- Validate scientific assumptions, calculations, code, intermediate outputs, and final answers.
- Ensure tasks are self-contained and executable in controlled, network-isolated computational environments.
- Maintain high quality and throughput while responding effectively to reviewer feedback.
What you need
- Ph.D., postdoctoral, or equivalent research experience in the life sciences, with strong demonstrated computational and scientific programming experience.
- Strong scientific programming experience, particularly in Python.
- Experience performing multi-step computational scientific analyses.
- Ability to independently validate both scientific reasoning and computational outputs.
Nice to have
- Expertise in one or more areas, including bioinformatics, computational genomics, systems biology, computational neuroscience, biostatistics, computational drug discovery, computational biochemistry, structural biology, protein engineering, or computational microbiology.
- Experience with scientific libraries and command-line tools.
- Experience creating reproducible research pipelines.
- Ability to translate authentic research workflows into bounded, objectively gradable tasks.
