Life Sciences Research Scientist (PhD): Wet Lab & Computational Biology

Computational Chemistry, Structural Biology & Drug Discovery Scientist (PhD)

• Science & Research
• Platform: micro1
• Location: 58 countries

This contract role asks a PhD-level scientist to write and check demanding problems in computational chemistry, structural biology and drug discovery, so that AI models can learn to reason about these topics. The work also includes reviewing model answers for scientific rigor and documenting reasoning clearly enough for other experts to validate. It is aimed at researchers with an advanced degree and hands-on lab or computational experience who write clearly in English.

Drug Discovery Scientist

• Science & Research
• Platform: Mercor
• Location: United States

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.

Biochemistry Subject Matter Expert - AI Content Specialist

• Science & Research
• Platform: Alignerr

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.

Biology Expert or Specialist

• Science & Research
• Platform: Alignerr

This role involves evaluating and improving AI models' understanding of biology by designing rigorous problems, developing solutions, and assessing AI-generated outputs for scientific accuracy and reasoning quality. It is designed for biology researchers and academics who can work independently on a flexible, remote contract basis.

Experimental Biologist

• Science & Research
• Platform: DataAnnotation
• Level: Intermediate

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.

Clinical, Microbiome & Translational Research Scientist (PhD)

• Science & Research
• Platform: micro1
• Location: 58 countries

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.
