  • 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 all deliverables meet high standards of scientific rigor and precision
  • Work independently on task-based assignments — fully on your own schedule

Who You Are

  • Deep expertise in at least one of: genetics, biotechnology, or bioinformatics
  • Comfortable working with Python or R for research or data analysis
  • Exceptional written communicator — able to explain complex science clearly and precisely
