Chemistry & Life Sciences Expert

Remote, United States. Project-based.

For scientists who know where a confident answer misreads the data, the mechanism or the method. Write and review questions in chemistry, biology and related lab sciences.

Pay: $110 to $220 an hour, paid per accepted task. There is no guaranteed project, task volume, hours or pay.

You must live in the US, be at least 18 and be authorized to work in the United States. We accept applications on an ongoing basis.

What you would do

• Write questions on mechanisms, stoichiometry and experiments, such as predicting the major product of a reaction, with reference answers.
• Find the flawed conclusion in model answers about lab results, such as a missing control or a confounded comparison.
• Write data‑interpretation tasks from synthetic results, such as a gel, a dose‑response curve or a sequencing summary.
• Check lab calculations and protocols in model answers, such as a dilution series or a primer design.
• Write rubrics that check units, conditions and the reasoning behind each step.

The minimum

• You study at or graduated from a college or university in chemistry, biology or a related field.
• Lab, computational or research work you did yourself and can describe in detail, including what could have gone wrong.
• You can read a methods section and say what the experiment can and cannot show.
• Care with units, concentrations and controls.

Ideal

• A degree in chemistry, biology or a related field; a master's or PhD is even better.
• Research or industry work, especially at an AI lab or AI company.
• Computational skill, such as bioinformatics pipelines, cheminformatics or data analysis in Python or R.
• Publications, patents or methods others use.
