Job description

Role Overview

This is a short-term, task-driven contract for a STEM biology specialist working fully remotely. The assignment runs for 3 months and is compensated at $250 for each task completed.

Work Expectations

The role requires a minimum commitment of 4 hours per day, with the possibility of working up to 40 hours a week. You must also be available for at least 4 hours of overlap with Pacific Standard Time (PST).

Responsibilities

Create demanding biology problems that can test the boundaries of large language models.
Produce detailed, step-by-step solutions supported by precise and logically structured reasoning.
Work with LLM researchers to ensure the problem set matches evaluation objectives, particularly for topics where models tend to perform poorly.
Help shape new benchmark sets drawn from biology coursework ranging from early undergraduate material to doctoral-level concepts.
Work through complex biological questions using a systematic and analytical approach.
Present biology ideas in an easy-to-understand way, using plain language and, when useful, visuals or simulations.
Give thorough feedback and annotations to support AI evaluation processes.

Requirements

Master’s or PhD in Biology, Biotechnology, Biochemistry, or a closely related discipline, or current enrollment in a PhD or postdoctoral program.
Strong capability in research and analytical problem-solving.
Comfort with providing detailed feedback and annotations.
Original thinking and the ability to approach problems creatively.
Excellent communication and collaboration skills suited to remote work.
Self-directed and able to work without close supervision.
Access to a desktop or laptop and stable internet connectivity.
Proven ability to tackle complex biology problems in a structured and logical manner.
Ability to explain biological concepts clearly, including through simple language, visuals, or simulations when appropriate.
A LinkedIn profile must be included in the resume.
Background verification will be conducted after onboarding.
