Overview

This remote contract role supports an AI training project by reviewing AI-generated biology responses. You’ll assess reasoning quality, identify errors, and provide expert feedback to improve accuracy and clarity. Develop high‑quality biological explanations and model solutions that translate theory into practical AI guidance using public sources. There is no immediate project start; qualified experts will be contacted for relevant openings and can access future assignments through our expert network.

What You'll Do8

  • 1Review AI-generated biology responses for accuracy, completeness, and logical flow.
  • 2Evaluate step-by-step reasoning, identify methodological gaps, and document findings.
  • 3Provide precise, evidence-based feedback to improve model outputs and create corrective exemplars.
  • 4Create biology-focused prompts and exemplar responses to guide AI training.
  • 5Fact-check biological claims against public sources and peer-reviewed literature.
  • 6Draft clear biological explanations and sample solutions that demonstrate correct methods.
  • 7Rate and compare competing AI answers on accuracy and reasoning quality.
  • 8Collaborate with the expert network to align future opportunities and share insights.

Requirements7

  • 1MS or PhD in Biology, Molecular Biology, Biochemistry, Physiology, or a closely related life-science field from a top‑100 university.
  • 2Strong command of human and animal biology, molecular pathways, physiology, disease fundamentals, and lab reasoning; experience developing or reviewing complex biology content.
  • 3Experience drafting or critiquing problem banks, textbook sections, or research notes for accuracy and clarity.
  • 4Expert in fact-checking information using public sources across domains.
  • 5Peer‑reviewed journal publication.“
  • 6Excellent written English (C1+) with the ability to convey biology clearly.
  • 7Bonus: data labeling, RLHF, or AI model evaluation experience.

Who Should Apply

Ideal candidates hold an MS or PhD in Biology, Molecular Biology, Biochemistry, Physiology, or a closely related life-science field from a top‑100 university. They demonstrate confidence with human and animal biology, molecular pathways, and lab-based reasoning, and have produced or critically reviewed substantial biology content. English proficiency at C1+ with clear scientific writing is essential. Applicants without peer‑reviewed publications or without demonstrated experience in fact-checking or AI model evaluation may be less competitive.
