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.

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 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 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.
This contract role asks life sciences researchers to write and solve technically demanding biology problems and to run reproducible Python analyses on scientific data. Reviewers also check scientific reasoning and code for correctness, all in service of evaluating advanced AI systems. It is aimed at experts with hands-on Python skills and a research background in biology or related fields.
