Molecular Biologist


Position: Molecular Biologist


Type: Contract


Compensation: $60–$9100/hour


Location: Remote


About the Opportunity :


This opportunity is for experienced Molecular Biologists with expertise in molecular biology, genetics, gene editing, DNA/RNA analysis, and laboratory research to contribute to advanced AI research and evaluation projects. You'll apply your scientific expertise to evaluate expert-level biological content, assess AI-generated outputs, and help improve the accuracy, reasoning, and performance of next-generation AI systems.

No prior AI experience is required. Your molecular biology expertise and research experience are the primary qualifications for success in this role. Professionals with hands-on experience in CRISPR, PCR, cloning, sequencing, genomics, and molecular diagnostics are especially encouraged to apply.


Responsibilities

  • Conduct and evaluate molecular biology research involving DNA, RNA, proteins, and gene expression.
  • Review and assess AI-generated scientific content for technical accuracy, completeness, and scientific reasoning.
  • Apply expertise in PCR, qPCR, cloning, sequencing, CRISPR gene editing, genotyping, and molecular assays.
  • Analyze DNA/RNA sequences, molecular pathways, genetic variation, and cellular mechanisms.
  • Design, interpret, and evaluate molecular biology experiments and laboratory workflows.
  • Translate complex molecular biology concepts into clear, structured documentation for AI training and evaluation.
  • Collaborate with interdisciplinary teams to ensure scientific accuracy, consistency, and data quality.
  • Apply structured evaluation frameworks and scientific judgment to improve AI model performance.


Required Qualifications

  • Bachelor's degree or higher in Molecular Biology, Genetics, Biotechnology, Cell Biology, Biochemistry, or a related Life Sciences discipline.
  • Strong hands-on experience with molecular biology techniques, PCR, DNA/RNA extraction, cloning, sequencing, and gene expression analysis.
  • Experience working in laboratory or wet lab research environments.
  • Excellent scientific reasoning, analytical thinking, and problem-solving skills.
  • Strong written and verbal communication skills with exceptional attention to scientific detail.
  • Ability to work independently in a fully remote environment.


Preferred Qualifications

  • Master's degree or PhD in Molecular Biology, Genetics, Biotechnology, Biochemistry, or a related field.
  • Experience with CRISPR, genomics, transcriptomics, bioinformatics, synthetic biology, or molecular diagnostics.
  • Familiarity with AI, machine learning, scientific data annotation, or AI model evaluation.
  • Experience developing scientific evaluation frameworks, quality assurance processes, or research review standards.
  • Experience collaborating with cross-functional or remote research teams.


Compensation

  • Competitive compensation of $60–$100/hour.
  • Weekly payments.
  • Independent contractor engagement.
