About Turing:
Turing is one of the world’s fastest-growing AI companies, accelerating the advancement and deployment of powerful AI systems.
Turing helps customers in two ways: Working with the world’s leading AI labs to advance frontier model capabilities in thinking, reasoning, coding, agentic behavior, multimodality, multilinguality, STEM, and frontier knowledge; and leveraging that work to build real-world AI systems that solve mission-critical priorities for companies.
Role overview :
As a Task Executor – Bioinformatics, you will use UGENE to complete assigned sequence-analysis and molecular-biology workflows. You will receive the required files, values, and step-by-step instructions, and you will execute them exactly as provided. Tasks may include sequence alignment, phylogenetic tree construction, plasmid annotation, workflow execution, and result export. You will save the requested outputs, record your screen when required, and report any ambiguity or mismatch without guessing or improvising.
Job Responsibilities:
- Open provided sequence files, plasmid maps, alignments, and tree files in UGENE.
- Perform instructed operations such as MUSCLE or ClustalW alignments, tree building, plasmid annotation, and workflow execution.
- Inspect sequence data, annotations, alignments, and analysis results for task-specific verification.
- Export aligned FASTA files, annotated GenBank files, reports, screenshots, and other requested outputs.
- Save all files using the specified names and locations to ensure completion traceability.
- Record the screen when required and report unexpected results, unclear instructions, or application mismatches.
Requirements:
- Demonstrate mandatory hands-on experience with UGENE, including opening files, running analyses, inspecting annotations, and exporting results.
- Understand common bioinformatics file formats such as FASTA, GenBank, SAM/BAM, and VCF at an operator level.
- Execute sequence-analysis workflows accurately and follow instructions in the specified order.
- Maintain strong attention to detail and avoid unnecessary clicks, changes, submissions, or assumptions.
- Maintain a reliable remote setup for screen recording, application access, and file delivery.
- Communicate clearly in written English and report ambiguities instead of guessing.
Project Details :
- Project duration - 5 weeks (approx) with potential chances of extension
- Project type - Pay-per-task (PPT)
- AHT - 60 minutes (approx.)
- Engagement - Full time
- Estimated project start date - between 28 september or 2 October (estimated)
