AfterQuery
VerifiedBiology Expert - Remote AI Evaluation Contract
AfterQuery's STEM group seeks biology specialists to sharpen how AI systems reason about the life sciences. You will hold a remote contract that averages 20 hours each week, with a focus on model training and evaluation. Daily work spans writing difficult biology prompts, reviewing model responses for accuracy and sound reasoning, and catching mistakes such as invented citations, obsolete taxonomy, or mechanisms applied to the wrong context. You may also draft reference answers and build grading rubrics that other reviewers use.
Micro1
VerifiedBiology Expert
micro1 is looking for a Biology Expert to help train cutting-edge AI systems in the life sciences. You'll use your deep domain knowledge to refine how models understand complex biological concepts — no previous AI experience needed. This remote contract role is ideal for scientists who enjoy communicating their expertise through clear, accurate written work.
Micro1
VerifiedBiology Expert PhD Remote Contractor for AI Training
A remote contractor role for scientists with a PhD who can review and shape biology content used to train AI systems. You’ll critique biology data, craft scenarios and explanations that reflect real-world biology, and ensure training materials are accurate and relevant. Collaboration with platform teams and ongoing evaluation help improve model performance in biology, with transparent documentation of methods and findings. No AI background required beyond domain expertise; your biology knowledge is the key asset. PhD in biology and strong scientific communication are essential. Critical evaluation and data analysis are everyday tools in this work.
Handshake AI
VerifiedBiology Expert - Remote AI Content Review
Handshake AI hires Biology PhDs for project-based work paid by the hour to improve how AI models handle biological reasoning. You will write domain-specific questions and judge AI responses for accuracy, logical consistency, and scientific rigor across areas such as molecular biology, genetics, or microbiology. The schedule stays remote and asynchronous, with no minimum hours; active contributors log 5 to 20 hours per week.
