Job description

Are you a neuroscience expert 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, keep pace with cutting-edge research, and streamline lab work for scientists everywhere. That training data begins with you—we need your expertise to help power the next generation of AI.

We’re looking for neuroscience specialists who live and breathe neuroanatomy, neurophysiology, neurochemistry, cognitive neuroscience, behavioral neuroscience, neuroimaging, neurodegenerative diseases, neural networks, sensory processing, and synaptic plasticity. You’ll challenge advanced language models on topics like brain structure and function, neuroplasticity, neurogenesis, neurotransmitter systems, brain disorders, and neurodevelopmental processes - documenting every failure mode so we can harden model reasoning.

On a typical day, you will converse with the model on lab scenarios and theoretical neuroscience questions, verify factual accuracy and logical soundness, capture reproducible error traces, and suggest improvements to our prompt engineering and evaluation metrics.

A master's or PhDs in neuroscience or a closely related life-science field is ideal; peer-reviewed publications, wet-lab or field research, or hands-on neuroimaging projects signal fit. Clear, metacognitive communication- "showing your work" - is essential.

Ready to turn your neuroscience expertise into the knowledge base for tomorrow’s AI?

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.
