Biology Expert (PhD) — AI Safety (Train AI Models Part Time!)

About the role

We're hiring PhD-level biologists to help make advanced AI models safer. You'll apply your scientific expertise to evaluate and strengthen how these models handle specialized life-science topics. No prior AI/ML experience is required — we'll train you on the workflow.

What you'll do

• Write expert-level prompts across specialized life-science topics.
• Evaluate and annotate model responses for scientific accuracy, helpfulness, and appropriate handling of sensitive content.
• Apply structured guidelines to classify prompts and conversations.

What we're looking for

• A PhD in biology or a closely related life-science field — ongoing or completed (e.g., molecular biology, microbiology, virology, genetics, biochemistry, bioinformatics, synthetic biology, immunology).
• Deep familiarity with modern laboratory and computational techniques in your subfield.
• Strong scientific reasoning and writing in English.
• Sound judgment around biosecurity and the responsible handling of dual-use information.

Nice to have

• Research or coursework touching on biosafety/biosecurity, pathogen biology, or gain-of-function considerations.
• Experience reviewing, grading, or red-teaming technical content.
