The work
You will design difficult life sciences tasks that test whether AI systems can interpret evidence and reason scientifically. The work focuses on biological knowledge, experimental interpretation, data analysis, and clear reference answers rather than programming.
The supplied title and role description identify different subject areas, so review the duties and qualifications before applying.
- Create graduate-level problems based on realistic research situations.
- Write precise questions and reference answers supported by scientific reasoning.
- Interpret experiments, datasets, figures, sequences, structures, and other biological evidence.
- Check biological claims, calculations, assumptions, and conclusions.
- Identify alternative interpretations and questions that lack enough information.
- Keep tasks self-contained, reproducible when appropriate, and clearly documented.
- Use reviewer feedback while maintaining quality and output.
What it pays and takes
This is a remote contractor assignment lasting one month. The work is open worldwide and requires fluent English. The assignment calls for at least four hours of overlap with Pacific Time.

About AI training work
AI training is the human work behind systems that learn from examples and feedback. Contributors prepare questions, review answers, and test whether AI can handle complex evidence, which is why advanced subject knowledge is important for specialized projects.
