Full job description
Role Title: Computational Biology & Cheminformatics Expert
Role Type: Contractor
Location: Remote
micro1 is engaging Computational Biology & Cheminformatics Experts to contribute their expertise to a customer’s computational drug discovery project. In this role, you'll apply your expertise to help train next-generation AI systems. Your work will shape how models learn, reason, and perform through high-quality, real-world input. No prior experience in AI is required — your domain knowledge is what matters.
Scope of Work
- Analyze and interpret small-molecule and drug discovery datasets using advanced computational biology, bioinformatics, and cheminformatics methods.
- Curate, annotate, and validate chemical and biological datasets (e.g., ChEMBL, PubChem, DrugBank) to support AI-driven discovery platforms.
- Evaluate compound-target interactions, ADMET properties, and lead optimization strategies by integrating chemical, biological, and clinical data sources.
- Provide expert insights on structure-activity and structure-property relationships (SAR/SPR), medicinal chemistry approaches, and experimental design considerations.
- Build and implement code-based benchmark tasks (e.g., terminal/CLI-based environments) that reflect realistic computational drug discovery scenarios.
- Develop reproducible environments (e.g., using Docker) and automated testing pipelines to ensure task correctness and solvability.
- Assess and review AI-generated outputs for scientific rigor, accuracy, and practical relevance, delivering detailed written feedback and recommendations.
Preferred Qualifications
- Advanced expertise in Computational Biology, Cheminformatics, Medicinal Chemistry, Biochemistry, or related fields; advanced degree (PhD, MSc, PharmD) highly valued but not strictly required.
- Strong coding proficiency in Python (beyond analysis scripts), with hands-on experience building tools, pipelines, or testable code; familiarity with Git, GitHub, and Docker.
- Extensive experience with cheminformatics toolkits and platforms such as RDKit, KNIME, Schrödinger, OpenEye, or MOE.
- Proven track record in small-molecule drug discovery, SAR/QSAR evaluation, ADMET prediction, or virtual screening workflows.
- Comfort working with public chemical and bioactivity databases and integrating diverse datasets for scientific analysis.
- Demonstrated ability to clearly communicate complex chemical and biological concepts in written feedback and reports.
- Experience participating in multidisciplinary and/or remote projects; familiarity with AI-assisted coding tools is a plus.
