Board-certified geneticist or licensed genetic counselor to validate a 59-marker SNP panel

We're a pre-launch direct-to-consumer genetic wellness company. Our educational (non-diagnostic) report reads 59 SNPs across 9 biological systems. We've already done the literature legwork and built a clean, pre-filled validation workbook. We need a credentialed geneticist to confirm and correct the scientific calls before launch — you're validating our draft, not building from scratch. ⚠ Credential is required for this role — please read first: This role requires a current, verifiable clinical credential: board certification or an active state license. Examples: board-certified clinical geneticist (ABMGG), ABGC-certified and state-licensed genetic counselor, or a currently licensed Clinical Laboratory Scientist (CLS). In your proposal, state exactly what you hold, the issuing body, and that it is currently active — we verify credentials as a standard step. To be direct so we don't waste each other's time: a PhD alone, "board-eligible," "trained as," or a professional-society fellowship does not meet this requirement. If you don't hold an active license or board certification, this particular role isn't a fit — but we genuinely appreciate you not applying so we can move quickly for both of us. What the validation entails: Confirm the effect allele for each marker, on the correct strand. Strand orientation is the #1 thing we need checked — candidate-gene literature is full of variants reported on opposite strands, and a flipped allele would make our report state the opposite of the truth. Confirm direction (does the effect allele raise or lower the trait) and that each marker maps to a defensible trait. Rule on our candidate-gene markers — 26 of 59 are candidate-gene (not in the GWAS Catalog), labeled "Emerging" in our report. We need your judgment on whether each is defensible as clearly-labeled emerging research, or should be cut. What you're working from (this is what makes it fast) A styled Excel workbook, 60 rows. 57 of 60 already have a proposed effect allele, direction, and a clickable PubMed citation — you confirm or correct in dedicated columns (blank = you agree). Rows pre-sorted by review priority: 14 clean GWAS hits (quick confirm), 20 multi-trait (pick the right trait), 26 candidate-gene (your judgment). A separate audit document flagging the exact markers where the literature is contested, contradictory, or strand-ambiguous — so you know where to spend your time. Also required Direct experience with SNP effect alleles, strand orientation (plus/minus, dbSNP/GRCh38), and reading GWAS vs. candidate-gene literature.Comfortable saying "this one isn't defensible" — we compete on honesty, not over claiming, so pushback is what we're paying for. Scope & budget Estimated 2–4 hours. Hourly or fixed fee — propose what you prefer. To apply: Start your proposal with the word "STRAND" so we know you read the scope, and include: (1) your exact credential + issuing body + that it's active, (2) one line on how you'd verify strand orientation, and (3) your rate. We send the workbook and audit doc to shortlisted, credential-verified candidates only.
