Role overview

You don't need an AI background — you need deep scientific expertise. In this role, you'll use your research experience in biology, biochemistry, or chemistry to help fine-tune large language models (like ChatGPT) built for drug discovery. Your ability to spot flawed controls, ambiguous steps, and unrealistic protocols is exactly what teaches AI to reason like a real scientist.

Responsibilities

  • Review, curate, and validate experimental protocols across domains including CRISPR/Genome Editing, Molecular Biology, Sequencing/Genomics, RNA/Protein Analysis, Single-Cell Profiling, and Cell Engineering/Screening, and others
  • Provide expert scientific feedback to AI researchers from leading labs, shaping how AI models interpret experimental design, controls, and validation in real-world drug discovery workflows
  • PhD in Biology, Biochemistry, Chemistry, Chemical Biology, Molecular Biology, Bioengineering, or a related life sciences or physical sciences field (postdocs, biopharma scientists, and industry researchers welcome)
  • 3+ years of active, hands-on experimental research experience
  • Deep expertise across multiple protocol categories listed above
  • Commitment: 20–40 hours/week (with overlap in PST)
  • Compensation: Highly competitive, top 10% of industry rates
  • Engagement: Contractor/freelancer (no medical or paid leave)
  • Duration: 1 month, with possible extension
  • Remote: Fully remote, collaborative environment
