How much do bioinformatics student jobs pay per year?

As of Jul 14, 2026, the average yearly pay for bioinformatics student in the United States is $94,474.00, according to ZipRecruiter salary data. Most workers in this role earn between $67,500.00 and $129,500.00 per year, depending on experience, location, and employer.

What types of projects or research can a Bioinformatics Student expect to work on during their studies or internships?

As a Bioinformatics Student, you may work on projects involving genetic sequence analysis, protein structure prediction, or the development of computational tools for large-scale biological data. Most roles involve collaborating with research scientists, data analysts, and fellow students to solve real-world biological questions using computational approaches. You’ll also gain experience in handling and analyzing datasets from sources like genomics or transcriptomics experiments. These experiences not only build your technical skillset but also prepare you for advanced roles in research, academia, or industry after graduation.

What is a Bioinformatics Student job?

A Bioinformatics Student job typically involves assisting researchers or professionals in analyzing biological data using computational tools and techniques. Responsibilities may include coding for data processing, working with genomic or proteomic datasets, and learning bioinformatics software. This role is often part of an internship or research project, helping students gain practical experience in fields like genetics, drug discovery, or systems biology.

What are the key skills and qualifications needed to thrive in the Bioinformatics Student position, and why are they important?

To excel as a Bioinformatics Student, you need a solid background in biology, computer science, and statistics, often acquired through coursework or related degrees. Familiarity with programming languages like Python or R, experience using bioinformatics software (such as BLAST or Geneious), and database management are highly valued. Strong analytical thinking, attention to detail, and effective communication skills help you interpret complex data and collaborate with interdisciplinary teams. These competencies are crucial for solving real-world biological problems and contributing meaningfully to research projects.

Mar 02, 2026

Salary Range or Pay Grade
$12,296 per course with additional possible course development compensation
Description

The Department of Biology at Tufts University (https://as.tufts.edu/biology/) seeks one or more qualified part-time, non-tenure track faculty members beginning September 1st, 2026 to support a new bioinformatics specialization within our "Open Choice" MS in Biology (details at https://as.tufts.edu/biology/academics/graduate-programs/ms-biology/bioinformatics-specialization-biology-oc-ms-program).

The part-time lecturer's responsibilities will include developing and teaching up to three new courses appropriate for MS-level and advanced undergraduate students in biology who do not have prior expertise in computer science:

* Biostatistics for Bioinformatics (using R) (fall): a new course covering core statistical concepts essential for modern bioinformatics analysis, with topics including regression models, hypothesis testing, multiple testing correction, and interpretation of p-values and z-scores. We expect most class examples and homework assignments will be directly relevant to mammalian biology, physiology, and disease.

Introduction to Bioinformatics (spring): a new course introducing fundamental concepts, data types, and analytical approaches in bioinformatics, exposing students to a broad range of applications such as genomics in cancer and rare disease, single-cell and bulk transcriptomics, proteomics, metabolomics, and other data-driven biological analyses. Most students in this course will have taken Biostatistics for Bioinformatics (above) and will concurrently take a new hands-on course in Applied Bioinformatics (not part of this position).

* Elective (either semester): One additional new bioinformatics-related elective that matches the candidate's expertise and is accessible to biology-trained students.

Qualifications

Required Qualifications:

* Qualified candidates must hold a PhD in bioinformatics or a related field (e.g., computational biology or systems biology) or have equivalent experience (e.g., MS plus significant work experience).

* Candidates should have prior teaching experience, which could include undergraduate/graduate instruction, professional education, mentorship of trainees or employees, or similar activities.

* Candidates should be able to describe how they will contribute to the success and career enhancement of Biology MS students enrolled in our bioinformatics specialization.

Preferred Qualifications:

* Bioinformatics experience in the private sector (esp. biotech/pharmaceutical industry).

* Experience collaborating with industry partners on applied research and/or careerrelevant curricula.

* Familiarity with scalable, reproducible bioinformatics workflows and high-performance computing (HPC) environments.

This is an academic year, 1-year position that is renewable contingent upon performance. Part-time lecturers teaching three or more courses per academic year are eligible for benefits.

Application Instructions

All application materials must be submitted via Interfolio at: apply.interfolio.com/182390 Applicants should submit a cover letter, curriculum vitae, and sample syllabi for "biostatistics for bioinformatics" and/or "introduction to bioinformatics" (whichever course(s) for which the applicant wishes to be considered). A sample syllabus for a bioinformatics elective is optional. In addition, three confidential letters of recommendation addressing the candidate's potential as a university teacher should be submitted separately to Interfolio.

For additional information, applicants may contact Jessica Orlando at jessica.orlando@tufts.edu.

Review of applications will begin on March 15th and continue until the position is filled. All offers of employment are contingent upon the completion of a background check.
