Role Overview:

We are seeking a detail-oriented Scientific Image Annotator to support our cell biology research,

focusing on HCT-116 human colon cancer cell line viability and morphology analysis. The

successful candidate will be responsible for accurately labeling components in high-content

microscopy images to train machine learning models. The role requires adherence to stringent

quality standards and the ability to apply feedback in a timely manner.

Key Responsibilities:

1. Image Annotation: Precisely annotate microscopy images based on established cell

biology criteria.

2. Viability Assessment: Accurately label live cells (cell-permeant fluorescent dye precursor

markers) and dead cells (using markers for membrane compromise).

3. Artifact/Debris Identification: Isolate and label non-cellular elements, including air

bubbles, cell debris, and cellular aggregates.

4. Quality Assurance: Ensure high annotation consistency and adherence to predefined

labeling protocols specific to fluorescent microscopy techniques.

Requirements:

● Strong theoretical or practical background in Cell Biology and Fluorescence Microscopy.

● Familiarity with visual identification of cellular components, morphology, and artifacts

common in cell culture.

● Exceptional attention to detail and precision for rigorous data labeling.

● Experience with, or willingness to learn, image annotation software tools.
