A typical day for a Remote Computational Biologist involves analyzing large-scale biological datasets, writing and debugging code, and interpreting results to support scientific projects or research goals. You'll often collaborate with wet lab scientists, bioinformatics specialists, and project managers through virtual meetings, sharing insights and integrating diverse types of data. Tasks can also include developing or optimizing analysis pipelines and preparing reports or visualizations for team discussions or publications. Flexibility in managing your workflow and strong digital communication skills are important, as you will coordinate with team members across different time zones and locations. This variety of activities ensures continual learning and exposure to cutting-edge research in the life sciences.
To thrive as a Remote Computational Biologist, you need a solid background in biology, statistics, and computer science, often supported by a relevant degree (such as bioinformatics or computational biology) and experience with biological data analysis. Proficiency with programming languages like Python or R, familiarity with bioinformatics tools and databases, and knowledge of cloud computing platforms are typically required; advanced degrees or certifications can be advantageous. Strong problem-solving skills, effective written and verbal communication, and the ability to collaborate virtually are valuable soft skills in this remote role. These strengths are critical for accurately interpreting complex data sets, working productively in distributed research teams, and driving impactful scientific discoveries.
A Remote Computational Biologist analyzes biological data using computational techniques, such as machine learning, bioinformatics, and statistical modeling, while working from a remote location. They often collaborate with researchers, biologists, and data scientists to study genomics, drug discovery, disease modeling, or evolutionary biology. Typical responsibilities include writing algorithms, processing large datasets, and interpreting biological patterns. This role requires expertise in programming languages like Python or R and knowledge of bioinformatics tools. Remote work allows flexibility in contributing to research projects for academic institutions, biotech companies, or pharmaceutical firms.

Description
About BullFrog AI
BullFrog AI (NASDAQ: BFRG) is a computational biology company spun out of the Johns Hopkins Applied Physics Laboratory. We sit at the intersection of AI and drug discovery, building platforms that help pharmaceutical and biotech companies make better, faster decisions across the drug development lifecycle:
The Role
Help turn complex biomedical and clinical data into defensible decisions for drug discovery and development.
BullFrog AI is seeking an exceptional Principal Data Scientist with a strong background in biomedical analytics. This is a senior individual contributor role that combines client-facing project leadership with direct contributions to BullFrog's in-house platform - spanning target discovery, patient subtyping, and multimodal data analysis.
Day-to-day work is client-dependent, with each engagement bringing a different analytical challenge. You will be expected to lead from execution and bring scientific rigor, technical depth, and clear communication to every project.
What You'll Do
Client Engagement & Project Leadership
Technical Delivery
Requirements
What We're Looking For
Education
Advanced degree (MS or PhD) in a quantitative field - biology, computer science, engineering, or related
Experience
5+ years of post-graduate experience in life sciences analytics in pharma, biotech, or consulting
Demonstrated proficiency in Python; production-quality code in a research or commercial environment
Hands-on experience with major healthcare data types - omics data required; claims and EHR experience strongly preferred
Hands-on experience applying LLMs or NLP to real analytical workflows, ideally biomedical or clinical text extraction, summarization, evaluation, or retrieval
Proven track record of collaborating effectively with remote teams
Must be legally authorized to work in the United States
Desired Skills
Prior experience in multi-modal analysis with deep learning
Causal inference experience - a significant differentiator for this role
NLP/LLM expertise applied to life sciences and healthcare text
Strong foundation in data engineering and databases
Experience with graph-based approaches: feature engineering, ML, and visualization
Cloud platform experience, particularly AWS or Google Cloud
Who Will Thrive Here
Intellectually versatile - energized by moving across problem types, data modalities, and scientific domains
Client-ready - comfortable presenting to and partnering with senior scientific and business stakeholders
Independently driven - able to scope, execute, and deliver complex analyses without heavy oversight
Scientifically rigorous - you hold your work to a publication-quality standard even in a commercial environment
Collaborative by default - remote-first is second nature; you communicate proactively and close loops
What We Offer
Base salary range: $175,000 - $210,000 per year, based on level of education, years of relevant experience, skills, and location. This role is eligible for performance bonus and equity/stock options, subject to company and plan terms. Benefits include medical, dental, and vision from day one, short-term disability, 401(k) from first paycheck, 15 days PTO, 11 paid holidays annually, and maternity and paternity leave.
