Overview
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. You do not need prior AI or engineering experience, and the role can run alongside postdoc, teaching, or industry work. Placement depends on current project demand, and project leads may consider strong contributors for later projects.
What You'll Do6
- Design rigorous biology questions that test advanced concepts, experimental methods, and technical problem-solving.
- Evaluate AI-generated answers for factual accuracy, logical consistency, and scientific rigor.
- Spot errors in experimental design, data interpretation, or biological reasoning and explain the correct approach.
- Write clear feedback that helps AI models understand domain-specific concepts and methods.
- Apply expertise in a listed subfield, such as virology, molecular biology, microbiology, genetics, proteomics, or biochemistry.
- Follow project guidelines and adapt to new review tasks as active projects change.
Requirements6
- Doctoral or postdoctoral training in Biology, including current postdocs.
- Specialization in at least one listed subfield: virology, molecular biology, microbiology, genetics, proteomics, or biochemistry.
- Strong grasp of advanced biological concepts, experimental methodology, data interpretation, and scientific reasoning.
- Ability to write clear, domain-relevant questions and judge responses against scientific standards.
- No prior AI or technical experience required; willingness to learn the review workflow is enough.
- Work authorization must fall under supported categories. STEM OPT does not qualify.
Who Should Apply
Biology PhDs and postdocs who can critique experiments, interpret data, and explain scientific reasoning will fit this project well. The ideal candidate holds deep expertise in a listed subfield, such as virology, molecular biology, or genetics, and can write precise questions without needing AI experience. People who want a permanent lab role, full-time hours, or hands-on wet-lab work should look elsewhere. Candidates lose fit when they cannot name a specific biology subfield or give examples of advanced research, coursework, or peer review. F-1 applicants also need to check authorization: CPT or OPT may work, but STEM OPT does not qualify.
Salary Insight
Handshake AI lists $125.00 per hour for this project-based Biology Expert role. That rate sits at the upper end of typical hourly contracts for doctoral-level AI evaluation work and matches the advanced domain expertise the project requires. Pay is tied to active project hours, not a fixed salary, and work volume varies by project need.
