Remote Molecular Biology Designer for AI Training Data

Weekday 1; United Kingdom; Remote; GBP 110,000 - 165,000; Part time

Job summary

Weekday 1 is seeking Molecular Biology Experts to contribute to AI systems advancing scientific discovery. You will design, review, and evaluate DNA and RNA sequence tasks that train models and improve biological reasoning, requiring hands-on work in nucleic acid design, cloning strategies, and regulatory elements.

This fully remote, flexible engagement offers part-time to full-time work up to 40 hours per week. Compensation is $70–$105 per hour.

Qualifications

• Hands-on experience designing nucleic acid constructs for molecular biology experiments.
• Experience with primers, plasmids or expression vectors, CRISPR gRNA/sgRNA, and RNA constructs.
• Familiarity with cloning methods and sequence engineering.

Responsibilities

• Design and review DNA and RNA constructs, including primers, plasmids, CRISPR guides, and RNA elements.
• Create challenging molecular biology design tasks and develop reference solutions.
• Evaluate AI-generated solutions for scientific accuracy and feasibility.
• Justify sequence-level design decisions, including guide RNA selection and codon optimization.
• Apply cloning strategies (Gibson, Golden Gate, Gateway; restriction cloning).
• Provide feedback to improve AI performance on nucleic acid design workflows.
