You will be engaged on specific projects with clearly defined deliverables, milestones, and end dates.

• Define domain‑specific quality success metrics.
• Develop project‑specific SOPs, QA rubrics, and reference materials for the specific purpose of meeting client technical standards.
• Review project outputs (annotations, classifications, metadata) against technical standards, flagging and correcting errors before client delivery.
• Perform structured QA passes on daily/weekly deliverables; flag, track, and resolve defects quickly to hit delivery deadlines.
• Return work to contractors with precise remediation notes.
• Provide advisory input on tools, workflows, and processes to meet quality benchmarks.
• Handle spec changes and edge‑case scenarios — e.g., new nomenclature updates, ambiguous classifications, or evolving research standards — drafting acceptance criteria or workarounds.
• Curate example libraries of “gold standard” annotated datasets for calibration and comparability to reference samples.

• Participate in vetting and assessing technical contractor talent for specific projects, including sample annotation reviews and domain‑specific knowledge tests.
• Review sample work from contractors and provide precise, actionable written feedback to improve outputs.
• Create targeted training or calibration resources — e.g., correct application of nomenclature, guidelines for ambiguous cases, data formatting standards.

• Advise on technical scoping and requirements during project setup, including reference data sources and domain‑specific quality thresholds.
• Provide expert guidance for edge cases, technical exceptions, and specification changes during the project lifecycle.
• Contribute to post‑project reviews to capture lessons learned and improve future standards.
• Identify and summarize client model observations and insights (e.g., misclassification trends, knowledge gaps in model outputs).
• Build dashboards or trackers with defect categories and recurrence to surface production insights that improve project outcomes.
• Conduct post‑mortems, analyze defect trends, and propose process tweaks or training refreshers.

• PhD in Biology, Bioinformatics, or a closely related field, with demonstrable industry or research impact.
• Deep technical expertise (5+ years professional experience) in advanced Biology field.
• Proven ability to set, enforce, and maintain high technical standards in your field.
• Strong communication skills for delivering clear technical guidance.
• Experience producing technical documentation, quality rubrics, or training resources.
• Ability to work within fixed project timelines and scope.
• Strong attention to detail, documentation discipline, and commitment to accuracy and consistency.
• Fluency in spoken and written English, with clear and concise writing skills.

• DNA/RNA sequence generation and correction

• Variant calling, CRISPR modeling, gene editing simulation

• Running/validat…
