Biotechnology Scientist for AI Training and Evaluation

SaidGig; New York (NY); Remote; USD 152,000 - 172,000; Full time

Job summary

SaidGig is seeking biotechnology experts for an ongoing remote, hourly contractor pool. The role centers on evaluating AI models used in bioprocess, therapeutic development, and assay developability.

You will create development problems, assess AI outputs, document reasoning, and flag unclear instructions. Projects are offered based on fit and availability, with hourly compensation for remote work.

Qualifications

• Experience in biotechnology, bioprocess development, or therapeutic development.
• Ability to explain the rationale behind development decisions.
• Strong written communication skills.
• Comfort working through ambiguity and unclear direction.

Responsibilities

• Create development problems based on programs you have worked on, including modality, process step, required specification, and a reference answer.
• Assess AI-generated process and assay development work, including scale-up assumptions, potency-assay validity, and whether release criteria are justified.
• Identify cases where an AI proposal is scientifically sound but would not meet developability expectations because of manufacturability, stability, or regulatory acceptability.
• Clearly document the reasoning behind your evaluations and flag ambiguous instructions when clarification is needed.

Job description

Role Overview

Apply your biotechnology development judgment to help evaluate and improve advanced AI models. Your experience will inform the standards used to assess model outputs on real-world bioprocess, therapeutic development, assay, and developability questions. This is an ongoing talent-pool listing, not a role tied to a currently active project. Matching projects may begin with little notice, and qualified experts are contacted when work aligned with their background becomes available.

Key Responsibilities

• Create development problems based on programs you have worked on, including the modality, process step, required specification, and a reference answer used to evaluate AI responses.
• Assess AI-generated process and assay development work, including scale-up assumptions, potency-assay validity, and whether release criteria are justified.
• Identify cases where an AI proposal is scientifically sound but would not meet developability expectations because of manufacturability, stability, or regulatory acceptability.
• Clearly document the reasoning behind your evaluations and flag ambiguous instructions when clarification is needed.

Qualifications

• Professional or research experience in biotechnology, bioprocess development, or therapeutic development.
• Experience making real development decisions and the ability to explain the rationale behind them.
• Strong written communication skills.
• Comfort working through ambiguous tasks and identifying unclear direction.

Work Terms

Remote, hourly independent-contractor engagements. Project assignments are offered based on fit and availability. Each project invitation identifies the applicable rate, hours, and client. A completed application to this standing listing does not result in an immediate acceptance or rejection decision. A matching opportunity may arise within a week or take several months, depending on available projects.

Compensation

Most biotechnology contracts pay $110 to $125 per hour, with the final rate set for each project based on its scope and depth.

Eligibility

Complete the application once to be considered for all qualifying expert networks and future biotechnology project matches.

Application Process

• Submit your resume and confirm your work location.
• Complete a short AI interview, approximately 20 minutes. Your background is reviewed before you are added to the biotechnology expert pool.
• Complete the domain-expert interview and any other networks for which you qualify to improve your likelihood of receiving relevant project invitations.
