About the Role
What if your years of rigorous scientific training could directly shape how AI understands and communicates biology to millions of people? We're looking for PhD-level Biologists to help evaluate and improve frontier AI systems — ensuring they reason accurately across molecular biology, genomics, physiology, systems biology, and beyond.
This is a fully remote, flexible contract role built for working scientists, researchers, and academics. Your deep domain expertise is the asset — no prior AI experience required.
- Type: Hourly Contract
- Location: Remote
- Commitment: Flexible, minimum 15 hrs/week
- Start Date: Rolling — staffed as projects launch
What You'll Do
- Evaluate AI reasoning — critically analyze AI-generated answers to advanced biology questions, identify errors, and provide detailed, constructive feedback that directly improves model performance
- Develop expert content — design and curate challenging biology questions and training datasets spanning a wide spectrum of subfields and complexity levels
- Annotate domain knowledge — accurately label and categorize advanced biology concepts, scientific diagrams, experimental data, and specialized terminology
- Map conceptual relationships — synthesize and connect complex biological principles, helping AI models grasp the depth and structure of the field across areas like genomics, cell biology, and systems biology
- Review and refine — validate AI-generated solutions to research-level problems with the same rigor you'd apply to peer review
Who You Are
- You hold a PhD in Biology or a closely related field with deep expertise in research, teaching, or advanced problem-solving
- You have developed or critically reviewed complex scientific content — peer-reviewed publications, advanced curricula, laboratory research, or technical documentation
- You can communicate challenging biological concepts with precision and clarity
- You're detail-oriented, self-directed, and comfortable working asynchronously without hand-holding
- You thrive on intellectually demanding work that rewards genuine expertise
Nice to Have
- Specialization in molecular biology, genomics, systems biology, physiology, or a related subfield
- Experience creating or evaluating advanced scientific assessments or educational content
- Prior exposure to data labeling, RLHF, or AI model evaluation projects
- Background in science communication or translating complex theory for broader audiences
Why Join Us
- High impact — your expertise directly improves AI models used by leading research labs and global enterprises
- Fully remote and flexible — work from anywhere, entirely on your own schedule
- Genuine intellectual challenge — engage with research-level problems that actually require your PhD-level knowledge
- Clear ownership — know exactly what success looks like with autonomy to deliver on your terms
- Growth potential — consistent high performers take the lead on new programs and mentor incoming subject matter experts
- Ongoing opportunities — strong contributors are first in line as new projects launch
