Job Summary:

In this role, you'll apply your expertise to help train next-generation AI systems. Your work will shape how models learn, reason, and perform through high-quality, real-world input.

Key Responsibilities
  • Design and write challenging, expert-level scientific problems in the life sciences, with clear, verifiable solutions.
  • Review and evaluate AI model outputs for scientific accuracy, rigor, and depth of reasoning, catching subtle errors that non-specialists would miss.
  • Develop detailed rubrics and reference answers grounded in primary literature and established experimental and computational methodology.
  • Apply your domain expertise in areas such as genomics, transcriptomics and single-cell/spatial omics, epigenomics, proteomics and metabolomics, microbiome and metagenomics, structural biology, drug discovery, systems biology, and clinical/translational research.
  • Bridge experimental and computational perspectives: assess whether a proposed experiment, analysis pipeline, or interpretation is scientifically sound.
  • Provide clear written explanations of your reasoning so other experts can follow and validate it.
  • Meet quality standards through iterative feedback and peer review.
    • Required Qualifications (MUST)
  • Completed PhD in Biology, Molecular Biology, Genetics, Genomics, Biochemistry, Bioinformatics, Computational Biology, Immunology, Neuroscience, Microbiology, or a closely related life science field.
  • Hands-on research experience in an academic, institutional, or industry research laboratory.
  • Professional written and spoken English (C1 or higher).
    • Strongly Preferred
  • Wet lab experience: you have personally performed experiments (e.g., PCR/qPCR, cell culture, sequencing library prep, Western blot, protein purification, LC-MS sample prep, CRISPR workflows).
  • Academic research experience: postdoctoral position, staff scientist, research faculty, or equivalent.
  • Peer-reviewed publications, ideally as first or corresponding author.
  • PhD from a top research university (US, UK, or other leading institutions).
