About this job

This contract role asks a PhD-level life sciences researcher to help build next-generation AI systems by writing and checking hard scientific problems. The work centers on microbiome, metagenomics, clinical bioinformatics and translational research, including careful review of model answers for accuracy. It suits researchers who can explain their reasoning clearly enough for other specialists to follow and validate it.

What you'll do

  • Write challenging expert-level scientific problems with verifiable solutions.
  • Review AI model outputs for scientific accuracy and depth of reasoning.
  • Develop detailed rubrics and reference answers based on primary literature.
  • Explain your reasoning in writing so other experts can validate it.
