Genomics & Cell Biology Specialist
Help train AI models for biology. You design hard, non-searchable tasks and benchmarks in areas such as cloning, primer and CRISPR design, functional genomics and assay troubleshooting, write worked solutions, judge model outputs and reasoning for biological feasibility, and write grading rubrics. Part-time, 20+ hours a week, remote for candidates in the UK or US. The engagement is arranged through a staffing partner acting as employer of record, while the posting also describes independent contractor status, so check the current terms on the application page.
