About the role
This is the broad life science pool that science evals draw on most.
No screen recording, no keystroke monitoring, no idle timers.
Independent contractor. Ongoing project work rather than single task batches.
Why Apply
- Work stays in your specialty, judged on scientific judgment rather than output volume.
- Set your own hours and scale up or down week to week.
- Weekly pay via Stripe at a rate set from your experience.
- Your judgment shapes how the next generation of AI handles molecular science.
Responsibilities
- Author realistic molecular biology scenarios from assay design through data interpretation, the kind a working scientist actually reasons through.
- Write reference answers with the mechanistic reasoning behind each conclusion, pathways and evidence weighed.
- Grade model output for pathway accuracy, experimental logic, and appropriate uncertainty.
- Flag explanations that read fluent but get the biochemistry wrong, the misses only a trained scientist would catch.
- Author realistic molecular biology scenarios from assay design through data interpretation.
- Write reference answers with the mechanistic reasoning behind each conclusion.
- Grade model output for pathway accuracy and experimental logic.
- Flag explanations that read fluent but get the biochemistry wrong.
Required skills
- Hands on depth in techniques such as cloning, protein work, sequencing, or assay design.
Preferred skills
- PhD and peer reviewed publications.
- Biotech or pharma industry research experience.
- Bioinformatics or structural biology breadth.
Experience and education

- People with strong written English who can turn scientific judgment into clear, teachable reasoning.
- Advanced degree in biochemistry, molecular biology, or a closely related field.
- 2+ years of research or industry experience in molecular life science.
Language requirements
- Clear written English for documenting scientific reasoning.
