Remote Biology AI Benchmark Scientist (PhD)

Weekday AI; United States; Remote; USD 83,000 - 110,000; Part time

Job summary

Weekday AI is hiring PhD and Master's scientists to author AI evaluation tasks (Sci Code) for a new scientific computing benchmark. You will craft original, executable research problems that current frontier models struggle to solve.

The role focuses on biology-related subdomains and requires Python, R, or similar computing skills. This is a fully remote, independent contractor engagement lasting six weeks, with weekly payments via Stripe or Wise.

Qualifications

• PhD in biology or closely related field.
• Depth in ecology, biochemistry or genetics in at least two subdomains.
• Proficiency in Python, R, or other language for scientific computing.

Responsibilities

• Source your own material: a published paper, a Kaggle dataset, an open-source repository, or a scenario you design.
• Write scientific prompts based on the input.
• Build the grading criteria that define a correct answer.
• Calibrate against frontier models — a task ships only when strong models fail it more often than they succeed.
