About the Role
At Mercor, we are partnering with top AI labs in applying AI to complex scientific challenges to build a state-of-the-art benchmark to evaluate the capabilities of the lab’s AI models in the field of bioinformatics.
Our goal is to test a model's ability to autonomously design and execute complex bioinformatics workflows, starting from raw sequencing data and a natural language prompt. This project requires a sophisticated blend of tool proficiency, deep biological domain knowledge, and rigorous scientific reasoning. We are seeking talented researchers to help us create these benchmark tasks using real-world, published scientific data.
