This role involves collaborating with an AI training platform to develop and evaluate biology problems, stress-test AI reasoning on genetics and biotechnology topics, and ensure scientific accuracy in AI-generated biological explanations. It is designed for advanced researchers and scientists with deep domain expertise who want flexible, intellectually challenging work without requiring prior AI experience.
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 evaluating and improving large language models' understanding of physics by designing advanced problems, authoring ground-truth solutions, and auditing AI-generated reasoning across quantum mechanics, electrodynamics, thermodynamics, and other domains. It is suited for PhD-level applied physicists who want to contribute to AI training while working independently on a flexible schedule.
This role suits PhD-trained biologists who have recent bench or computational lab experience in genomics and cell biology. The work is to help an AI team build models for biology by writing challenging tasks and accurate solutions, and by judging whether the protocols and workflows the models propose are feasible. It is a part-time engagement of at least 20 hours per week.
