This role involves helping train and refine AI models on biochemistry topics by designing test problems, writing ground-truth solutions, and evaluating AI-generated scientific reasoning. The position is ideal for PhD-level biochemists who want to apply their expertise to AI development while working flexibly on a remote, hourly contract basis.
This role involves designing realistic evaluation challenges for AI models applied to drug discovery. As an expert in chemistry and molecular biology, you will build complex research scenarios based on real and ambiguous data, where AI must demonstrate genuine reasoning capability rather than simple pattern association. You will be responsible for the entire process: challenge design, data corpus assembly, response evaluation, and iterative revision.

This role involves designing, solving, and evaluating advanced chemistry problems to train AI models. Masters and PhD-level chemists will leverage their domain expertise to create rigorous scientific content that enhances AI reasoning capabilities across organic, inorganic, physical, or computational chemistry.
This role involves evaluating AI-generated chemical reasoning and responses to identify flawed mechanisms, unsafe procedures, and analytical errors. You will write prompts to test chemical knowledge, review AI outputs for errors, and provide correct expert-level answers with proper attention to safety and experimental conditions.
This role involves designing realistic experimental biology tasks and evaluating how frontier AI models perform on benchmark scientific challenges. You'll create scenarios from your own laboratory practice, run them through AI systems, and grade the AI's output against professional standards to help train models on hands-on experimental work.
