About The Role

What if your years of graduate-level biology training could directly shape how AI reasons through the most complex problems in genetics, biotechnology, and bioinformatics? We're looking for Biology Specialists to help build and evaluate cutting-edge AI models — bringing the kind of scientific depth and rigor that only a true domain expert can provide. This is a fully remote, flexible contract role built for researchers, postdocs, and scientists who want to contribute to something meaningful on their own schedule. No prior AI experience required — your biology expertise is what matters.

What You'll Do

  • Develop, solve, and critically review advanced biology problems with real-world scientific relevance
  • Apply your expertise in genetics, biotechnology, bioinformatics, or related fields to design complex, meaningful problem statements
  • Evaluate AI-generated biological reasoning for scientific accuracy, depth, and clarity
  • Collaborate asynchronously with AI researchers and fellow domain experts to strengthen model performance
  • Ensure rigorous scientific standards across all deliverables — from problem framing to solution review

Who You Are

  • Holds a Master's or PhD in Biology or a closely related field (Genetics, Molecular Biology, Bioinformatics, Biotechnology, etc.)
  • Fluent in Python or R — comfortable using code as a tool in research or analytical work
  • Deep subject matter expertise in at least one of: genetics, biotechnology, or bioinformatics
  • Exceptionally clear communicator — able to translate complex science into precise, well-structured written explanations
  • Detail-oriented, self-motivated, and dependable when working independently
  • Fluent in English

Nice to Have

  • Prior experience with data annotation, data labeling, or AI evaluation workflows
  • Background in computational biology or systems biology
  • Experience writing for scientific publications, grant applications, or technical documentation
  • Familiarity with AI or machine learning concepts as they relate to life sciences

Why Join Us

  • Work on frontier AI projects alongside the world's leading research labs
  • Fully remote and flexible — work when and where it suits you
  • Freelance autonomy with the structure of meaningful, task-based work
  • Put your graduate training to use in a high-impact, applied context outside traditional academia
  • Potential for ongoing work and contract extension as new projects launch
