Job description

Models blur the line between what's established, what's contested, and what's simply made up in the life sciences, and they cite papers that don't exist.

As a Biologist you'll hold AI biological reasoning to the standard of the literature and write answers that get the science right.

What you’ll actually do

• Write prompts that probe biological reasoning: molecular mechanisms, experimental design, and data interpretation.
• Review AI output for fabricated citations, overstated claims, and misread experiments, and rate the reasoning.
• Write the correct answer when the model falls short, grounded in the actual literature.

Roles this fits

Common backgrounds: Biologist, Molecular Biologist.

What we look for

• Graduate-level biology background or equivalent research experience.
• Comfort reading primary literature critically.
• Clear written English: your explanations are the training signal.
• No degree required. We care about what you can do, not where you learned it.
