Biology Specialist (Masters/PhDs)

About the Role

What if your years of biology expertise could directly shape how AI understands genetics, biotechnology, and the life sciences — influencing research tools used by scientists and students around the world?

We're looking for Biology Specialists with advanced degrees to tackle complex, real-world problems and help train the next generation of AI models. Your scientific depth will be the difference between AI that gets biology right and AI that doesn't.

This is a fully remote, flexible contract role built for researchers, academics, and science professionals who want meaningful work on their own schedule.
