Job description

Human Pathogens and Clinic Specialist - Freelance AI Trainer Project

United States of America

Are you a master of human pathogens and clinical microbiology eager to shape the future of AI? Large‑scale language models are evolving from clever chatbots into powerful engines of scientific discovery. With high‑quality training data, tomorrow’s AI can democratize world‑class education, enhance diagnostic reasoning, and support frontline healthcare professionals around the globe. That training data begins with you—we need your expertise to help power the next generation of AI.

We’re looking for specialists who live and breathe bacterial, viral, fungal, and parasitic pathogens; clinical diagnostics; host‑pathogen interactions; antimicrobial resistance; infection control; and hospital microbiology. You’ll challenge advanced language models on topics such as specimen collection and processing, culture and staining techniques, diagnostic test interpretation, biosafety protocols, antimicrobial stewardship, and infectious disease case management—documenting every failure mode so we can harden model reasoning.

On a typical day, you will converse with the model on real‑world clinical microbiology scenarios and pathogen‑related questions, verify factual accuracy and logical soundness, capture reproducible error traces, and suggest improvements to our prompt engineering and evaluation metrics.

A PhD in microbiology, clinical laboratory science, infectious diseases, or a closely related life‑science field is ideal; peer‑reviewed publications, hands‑on clinical lab experience, or work in hospital or public health settings signal fit. Clear, metacognitive communication—“showing your work”— is essential.

We offer a pay range of $8‑to‑$65 per hour, with the exact rate determined after evaluating your experience, expertise, and geographic location. Final offer amounts may vary from the pay range listed above. As a contractor, you’ll supply a secure computer and high‑speed internet; company‑sponsored benefits such as health insurance and PTO do not apply.
