About the Opportunity

This opportunity is for experienced Molecular Biologists with expertise in molecular biology, genetics, gene editing, DNA/RNA analysis, and laboratory research to contribute to advanced AI research and evaluation projects. You'll apply your scientific expertise to evaluate expert-level biological content, assess AI-generated outputs, and help improve the accuracy, reasoning, and performance of next-generation AI systems. No prior AI experience is required. Your molecular biology expertise and research experience are the primary qualifications for success in this role. Professionals with hands-on experience in CRISPR, PCR, cloning, sequencing, genomics, and molecular diagnostics are especially encouraged to apply.

Responsibilities

Conduct and evaluate molecular biology research involving DNA, RNA, proteins, and gene expression. Review and assess AI-generated scientific content for technical accuracy, completeness, and scientific reasoning. Apply expertise in PCR, qPCR, cloning, sequencing, CRISPR gene editing, genotyping, and molecular assays. Analyze DNA/RNA sequences, molecular pathways, genetic variation, and cellular mechanisms. Design, interpret, and evaluate molecular biology experiments and laboratory workflows. Translate complex molecular biology concepts into clear, structured documentation for AI training and evaluation. Collaborate with interdisciplinary teams to ensure scientific accuracy, consistency, and data quality. Apply structured evaluation frameworks and scientific judgment to improve AI model performance.

Required Qualifications

Bachelor's degree or higher in Molecular Biology, Genetics, Biotechnology, Cell Biology, Biochemistry, or a related Life Sciences discipline. Strong hands-on experience with molecular biology techniques, PCR, DNA/RNA extraction, cloning, sequencing, and gene expression analysis. Experience working in laboratory or wet lab research environments. Excellent scientific reasoning, analytical thinking, and problem-solving skills. Strong written and verbal communication skills with exceptional attention to scientific detail. Ability to work independently in a fully remote environment.

Preferred Qualifications

Master's degree or PhD in Molecular Biology, Genetics, Biotechnology, Biochemistry, or a related field. Experience with CRISPR, genomics, transcriptomics, bioinformatics, synthetic biology, or molecular diagnostics. Familiarity with AI, machine learning, scientific data annotation, or AI model evaluation. Experience developing scientific evaluation frameworks, quality assurance processes, or research review standards. Experience collaborating with cross-functional or remote research teams.

Compensation

Competitive compensation of $70–$90/hour. Weekly payments. Independent contractor engagement.
