Biology Mentor

Role Overview

This is a short-term contract opportunity for a STEM Biology specialist who will work remotely on task-based assignments. The engagement runs for 3 months and is centered on creating and evaluating challenging biology problems that help test the limits of large language models.

Compensation is $250 for each task completed. The role requires at least 4 hours of work per day, with a maximum commitment of 40 hours per week, and the schedule must include 4 hours of overlap with Pacific Time.

What You Will Do

• Create and solve advanced biology questions designed to stress-test large language models.
• Build precise, step-by-step solutions with clear reasoning and strong scientific rigor.
• Work with LLM researchers to match question types to evaluation objectives, especially where models are typically weak.
• Help shape new assessment benchmarks using biology topics from early undergraduate level through PhD-level material.
• Tackle difficult biology problems through a systematic and logical problem-solving approach.
• Communicate biology concepts in a simple, accessible way, using visuals or simulations when useful.
• Offer thoughtful feedback and detailed annotations for AI evaluation processes.

Requirements

• Master's or PhD in Biology, Biotechnology, Biochemistry, or a closely related discipline, or current enrollment in a PhD/Postdoctoral program.
• Strong capability in research and analytical thinking.
• Ability to provide detailed feedback and careful annotations.
• Creative thinking and the ability to approach problems laterally.
• Excellent communication and collaboration skills in a remote work environment.
• Comfort working independently with strong self-motivation.
• Access to a desktop or laptop and a dependable internet connection.
• Skill in breaking down and solving complex biological questions in a structured way.
• Ability to explain biology clearly through plain language and, when needed, visual or simulation-based support.
• A LinkedIn profile must be included in the resume.
• Background verification will be conducted after onboarding.

Application Process

Applicants must first submit the application and then monitor email for the form. The next steps include completing a Google form and, if shortlisted, finishing an assessment link within 24 hours.
