Part Time Clinical Genomic Scientist Jobs (NOW HIRING)

Remote | Bioinformatics Scientist (Genomics & Statistical Genetics)We are sharing a specialised part-time consulting opportunity for PhD-level computational genomics and bioinformatics professionals with deep expertise in statistical modelling, biological data analysis, R, Python, and reproducible computational research.

This role focuses on completing realistic, multi-step scientific analysis workflows across computational genomics, quantitative biology, and translational biomedicine. Selected experts will work from complex biological datasets through quality control, statistical analysis, interpretation, and structured scientific reporting.
