Molecular Biology GenAI Data Specialist

Dorado; Northern (KY); Hybrid; USD 150,000 - 190,000; Full time

Job summary

Cincinnatus LLC is seeking a Molecular Biology SME to contribute to AI training data by designing DNA/RNA constructs and evaluating biological reasoning in model outputs. The role involves creating high-quality, ground-truth tasks and collaborating with researchers and engineers.

The ideal candidate has hands-on construct design experience (primers, plasmids, gRNA, mRNA) and a strong publication record. This is a W-2 position with potential placement at a leading AI Lab.

Qualifications

• Advanced degree in molecular biology or related field.
• Hands-on experience designing nucleic acid constructs (primers, plasmids, vectors) before experiments.
• Strong peer-reviewed publication record, first-author work preferred.

Responsibilities

• Collaborate with research and engineering teams to identify gaps in molecular biology reasoning for AI training data.
• Design domain-specific tasks and provide accurate, well-documented solutions (PCR primers, cloning, gRNA constructs, mRNA constructs, HDR templates).
• Review tasks and model outputs against expert solutions; provide clear feedback on correctness and biological reasoning.
• Develop guidelines and rubrics for sequence design quality, including target selection and codon optimization.
• Coordinate with other SMEs to maintain consistency and accuracy of training data.
