The job description

About the Role

We're looking for biology experts to help evaluate and improve AI systems being trained on advanced scientific content. Your knowledge will directly shape how AI understands and reasons through complex biology — from cellular mechanisms to graduate-level concepts that push the boundaries of what AI can do.

This is a fully remote, flexible contract role. You set your hours, work independently, and contribute to some of the most exciting AI research happening today.

What You'll Do

Design challenging, advanced biology questions to rigorously test AI performance
Develop clear, step-by-step solutions with well-structured scientific reasoning
Evaluate AI-generated responses for accuracy, depth, and quality of logic
Identify gaps, errors, and weaknesses in AI outputs across biological domains
Collaborate with researchers to refine benchmarks spanning undergraduate to Masters-level biology topics
Work independently and asynchronously on your own schedule

Who You Are

Pursuing or holding a Master's degree in Biology, Biotechnology, Biochemistry, or a closely related field
Strong analytical and problem-solving skills across advanced biology topics
Able to communicate complex scientific ideas clearly and precisely in writing
Detail-oriented with a commitment to scientific accuracy
Self-motivated and comfortable working independently
No prior AI experience required

Nice to Have

Experience with data annotation, data quality assessment, or evaluation frameworks
Familiarity with AI or machine learning concepts
Background spanning multiple biology sub-disciplines (e.g., molecular biology, genetics, physiology, ecology)

Why Join Us

Work on cutting-edge AI projects alongside world-leading research labs
Fully remote and flexible — work on your own schedule from anywhere
Freelance perks: autonomy, variety, and the ability to contribute at your own pace
Gain firsthand exposure to how large language models are developed and evaluated
Contribute to meaningful work that advances the scientific accuracy of AI systems
Potential for ongoing work and contract extension
