Life Sciences Scientific Reasoning Expert

As a Life Sciences Scientific Reasoning Expert, you will create advanced scientific-reasoning tasks for AI evaluation. The work focuses on realistic research scenarios and asks models to interpret evidence, synthesize information, and defend their reasoning rather than repeat facts.

You will work with experimental results, biological data, figures, sequences, structures, and literature-style evidence. The work is non-coding and requires clear documentation, careful validation, and strong scientific judgment.

• Design graduate-level problems in the life sciences.
• Write clear questions and rigorous reference answers.
• Interpret experiments, biological data, and research findings.
• Validate scientific claims and calculations.
• Identify ambiguity and alternative interpretations.
• Keep tasks self-contained, precise, and clearly documented.
• Use reviewer feedback while maintaining quality and throughput.

About AI training work

AI training is the human work behind systems that learn from examples, including writing and rating model responses and evaluating scientific reasoning. Researchers and other subject-matter experts help assess whether AI outputs are accurate, well supported, and useful.
