Part-Time Genetics/Biology Expert Needed

We are an early-stage company building a platform to make genomic data processing and analysis more accessible to clinicians, researchers, and labs. We’re looking for a part-time genetics/biology expert to join our team and provide domain expertise that guides our data pipelines, product development, and validation. As a Genetics/Biology Expert, you will: - Provide expertise in genetics, genomics, and molecular biology to guide product design and data interpretation. - Help evaluate the biological validity of computational approaches. - Collaborate with data scientists/engineers to ensure analyses reflect real-world clinical/research needs. - Use Jupyter notebooks to annotate, validate, or demonstrate workflows. - Contribute to literature reviews and ensure we’re aligned with current scientific best practices. - Advise on edge cases, pitfalls, and biological meaning behind data types (genomic, proteomic, metabolomic, clinical). Key Responsibilities: - Review and guide the design of genetic/genomic data processing pipelines. - Translate biological concepts into requirements for engineers. - Provide scientific feedback on MVP features and customer-facing outputs. - Occasionally create or review example Jupyter notebooks (Python/R familiarity required). - Stay up-to-date with genetics/genomics research and bring insights to the team. Requirements: - Advanced training in genetics, genomics, or molecular biology (PhD preferred, MSc with strong experience also considered). - Experience working with genomic datasets (e.g., sequencing, variant analysis). - Comfortable using Jupyter notebooks for basic data exploration and annotation. - Strong ability to communicate biological insights to a cross-functional team (engineers, product). - Availability for ~10–15 hours/week (flexible). Nice-to-Haves: - Experience in bioinformatics pipelines (variant calling, alignment, annotation). - Familiarity with tools like Bioconductor, scikit-bio, or Galaxy. - Prior work with precision medicine, clinical genomics, or translational research. Why Join Us: - Shape the foundation of a product that bridges biology and computation. - Collaborate with a global, interdisciplinary team. - Flexible, remote-first engagement. - Opportunity to see your expertise directly influence product development.
