Biology Expert - Remote AI Evaluation Contract
Listing checked September 12, 2026 · pay as published by AfterQuery
Overview
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.
What You'll Do6
- 1Write advanced biology prompts that test how well a model understands concepts across the life sciences.
- 2Review model answers for factual accuracy, sound reasoning, and alignment with accepted biological principles.
- 3Identify subtle errors such as fabricated citations, outdated nomenclature, and mechanisms applied to the wrong biological process.
- 4Draft model answers and explanations that show correct biological reasoning step by step.
- 5Create rubrics that reviewers use to score response quality against clear criteria.
- 6Compare model output against trusted biology knowledge and flag gaps or contradictions.
Requirements5
- 1Degree in biology or a related life science field.
- 2Strong command of core biology concepts, terminology, and current nomenclature.
- 3Ability to detect factual errors, fabricated sources, and misapplied mechanisms in written answers.
- 4Clear writing for model answers, explanations, and grading rubrics.
- 5Capacity to commit 20 hours per week to a remote contract.
Who Should Apply
Candidates with a biology degree, research background, or teaching experience in the life sciences match this contract well. The role suits someone who can read a model response and spot a fabricated citation, an outdated taxon name, or a mechanism placed in the wrong pathway. People who know one narrow subfield may struggle because prompts span genetics, cell biology, ecology, and other areas. Applications often lose points when the assessment is missing or when sample answers stay vague instead of naming exact mechanisms and sources. Anyone seeking a full-time schedule, benefits, or a noncontract position should look elsewhere.
Salary Insight
The listing sets pay at $50.00 to $200.00 per hour for this contract. That broad range matches evaluation work that pays more for deep domain expertise, assessment performance, and tasks that require advanced biology knowledge. Entry into the top end often comes with a strong track record in biological research or teaching.

AfterQuery
VerifiedBiology Expert - Remote Life Sciences Contract
AfterQuery needs biologists to create life science scenarios that frontier AI labs use to test model judgment. You will write experimental designs, reference answers and grading notes across areas such as genetics, ecology, microbiology or physiology. The contract runs 10 hours per week, remote and async, with pay from $60 to $120 per hour through Stripe. Your scientific reasoning shapes how future models handle biology questions and evidence.
SME Careers
VerifiedBiologist for AI Training Content and Evaluation
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.
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.
AfterQuery
VerifiedMolecular Biology Expert - Remote Contract
AfterQuery seeks life science researchers to help frontier AI labs measure how well models reason about molecular biology. You will design assay design and data interpretation scenarios, write reference answers that show the mechanism behind each result, and grade model output for pathway accuracy. The work stays inside biochemistry and molecular biology, so your scientific judgment matters more than volume. Commit about 10 hours per week, choose your schedule, and receive weekly pay through Stripe at $60 to $120 per hour.
Handshake AI
VerifiedBiology Expert - Remote AI Content Review
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.
Mercor
VerifiedBiology Expert - Remote Life Sciences (Part-Time)
Mercor keeps a standing pool of biologists who help AI research teams judge work that requires real lab experience. When a project opens, you may write original research problems from your own area, complete with the system, data, controls, and a reference answer. You also grade model-written experimental designs and interpretations, checking whether statistics fit the design and whether conclusions follow from the figures. Another task involves spotting textbook answers that fail at the bench because of organism limits, assay sensitivity, or what reagents can show. Rates for past projects ranged from $70 to $105 an hour.
