Life Sciences Scientific Reasoning Expert

The work

You will design advanced scientific reasoning tasks for AI evaluation. The work focuses on biological knowledge, experimental interpretation, data analysis, and careful scientific reasoning rather than coding.

You will turn realistic research scenarios and evidence into challenging problems that test synthesis and interpretation instead of simple factual recall. You will also write clear questions and defensible reference answers.

• Design graduate-level life sciences problems.
• Interpret experiments, datasets, figures, sequences, structures, and literature-style evidence.
• Validate biological claims, calculations, assumptions, and conclusions.
• Find ambiguity and alternative interpretations in scientific tasks.
• Make sure each task is self-contained and clearly documented.
• Use reviewer feedback while maintaining quality and throughput.

About AI training work

AI training work is the human side of building AI: people create examples, evaluate model responses, and prepare reliable data. Experienced researchers are needed when tasks require careful interpretation, domain knowledge, and defensible scientific answers.
