Please, add a period in the hours, or a 0 in the salary, or tell us it's a joke.

Even if it was a missing zero typo, 3200 a month would be 38,400 a year, which is less than a postdoc salary.

Well, that is more than (even after euro conversion) my postdoc salary when I was in France, but I agree on the substance.

There you see the buisness model of 'freelance' jobs, ofc the compute resources have to be provided by the freelancer. I'd call it exploitation. I guess this guy is a troll of some sort.

Let me get this straight. You are asking for someone with a PhD in Bioinformatics and you have to work 25 hours a week (>100 hours a month) and get paid $320 /month?

This equates to less than $3.20 an hour before tax. Maybe I am training in the wrong profession.....
