Biology Expert - Remote AI Content Review
Listing checked September 18, 2026 · pay as published by Handshake AI
Overview
Handshake AI invites Biology master's and doctoral candidates, plus postdocs, to join a remote fellowship built around paid, project-based work. You review AI-generated answers for biological accuracy, logical flow, and scientific rigor, then craft domain-specific questions that test how well a model handles advanced concepts. No AI background is needed. The schedule stays asynchronous with no minimum hour requirement, and contributors often log 5 to 20 hours each week during an active project. Many people pair this fellowship with lab research, teaching, or a postdoc.
What You'll Do6
- 1Review AI-generated responses for biological accuracy, logical coherence, and scientific rigor.
- 2Write challenging biology questions that reflect advanced concepts and experimental methodology.
- 3Flag errors, unsupported claims, or inconsistent reasoning in model outputs.
- 4Provide written feedback that explains why a response succeeds or falls short.
- 5Apply data interpretation and scientific reasoning to judge model answers across biology subfields.
- 6Adapt to project guidelines and domain-specific review standards as new projects open.
Requirements5
- 1Master's, doctoral, or postdoctoral standing in Biology or an adjacent field. Current enrollment or recent graduation both work.
- 2Advanced knowledge of biological concepts, experimental methods, data interpretation, and scientific reasoning.
- 3Ability to design rigorous questions and critique scientific arguments.
- 4No prior AI or machine learning experience needed.
- 5Work authorization through CPT or OPT may qualify. STEM OPT does not qualify, and a school CPT course requirement may rule out this work.
Who Should Apply
An ideal candidate is a Biology master's or PhD student, recent graduate, or postdoc who can discuss experimental design and data interpretation with real depth. You enjoy reading scientific arguments and spotting where a claim lacks evidence or skips a control. The role fits people who want flexible, project-based work alongside a lab, teaching load, or postdoc. Candidates who need a traditional full-time research position, steady hours each week, or long-term employment should look elsewhere. Applications often score low when candidates show broad biology knowledge but cannot explain experimental methodology or scientific reasoning in detail, or when their work authorization does not match Handshake AI's supported statuses, such as STEM OPT or a CPT course requirement.
Salary Insight
Pay runs from $75 to $100 per hour, which places the fellowship near the top of typical rates for part-time AI evaluation work in the sciences. That range matches PhD-level domain expertise and the project-based nature of the role. Hours vary by project, and many contributors work 5 to 20 hours each week while a project is active. No benefits or full-time conversion are promised in the source listing.

Required Skills
Application Tip
Lead with depth, not breadth. Name two or three advanced biology areas you know well, such as molecular biology, genetics, immunology, or ecology, and show how you would build a question that tests a model on experimental controls or data interpretation. Add a concrete example from your research, teaching, or publications where you evaluated scientific evidence. State your current program or postdoc status and work authorization, because Handshake AI screens for CPT or OPT eligibility and does not support STEM OPT. A specific, evidence-based application will score higher than a general statement about loving biology.
