Role Overview
We are looking for experienced Life Sciences researchers and subject-matter experts to create advanced scientific reasoning tasks for an AI evaluation benchmark focused on biology and related disciplines.
This is a non-coding research role. The work centers on designing rigorous, self-contained scientific problems based on realistic experiments, biological data, figures, sequences, structures, literature-style evidence, and research scenarios. The goal is to create tasks that test whether AI systems can genuinely interpret evidence, reason scientifically, and synthesize information, rather than simply recall facts.
Relevant backgrounds include Molecular Biology, Genetics & Genomics, Cell Biology, Biochemistry, Neuroscience, Microbiology, Immunology, Evolutionary Biology, Ecology, Structural Biology, Biophysics, Developmental Biology, Cancer Biology, Pharmacology, and related fields.
CONTRACT: Contractor assignment, 6 weeks
COMMITMENT: Hourly, up to 40h/week
LOCATIONS: Remote - Argentina, Bangladesh, Brazil, Colombia, Egypt, Nigeria , Ghana, India, Indonesia, Turkey, Chile, Peru, Sri Lanka, Saudi Arabia, Nepal, Mexico
PROCESS: Application form - 60 min online test (analyzing biochemical measurements and distinguishing among mechanistic defects in enzyme variants)
Key Responsibilities
