You should be able to break down complex biological concepts into simple, clear explanations and work efficiently.
The projects will also help you learn how to leverage AI to be a better analyst. This is your chance to future-proof your career in an AI-first world!

What does day-to-day look like:

Design and solve challenging Biology problems to probe the limitations of large language models.
Develop high-quality, step-by-step solutions with clear and rigorous reasoning.
Collaborate with LLM researchers to align problem types with evaluation goals, especially in areas where models typically struggle (e.g., conceptual abstraction, multi-step reasoning, and data interpretation).
Contribute to defining new evaluation benchmarks based on Biology curricula spanning early undergraduate to PhD-level topics.

Requirements:

Analytical Skills: Good research and analytical skills
Feedback Skills: Ability to provide constructive feedback and detailed annotations.
Creative Thinking: Creative and lateral thinking abilities.
Communication: Excellent structured communication and collaboration skills in a remote setting.

Work in a fully remote environment.
Opportunity to work on cutting-edge AI projects with leading LLM companies.
Potential for contract extension based on performance and project needs.

Evaluation Process (approximately 80-90 mins) :

Shortlisted candidates will be sent an automated analytical challenge (approximately 30 mins)
Once you clear the challenge, you will be redirected to a Biology assessment (approximately 30 minutes) followed by a language proficiency assessment (approximately 20 minutes).
Once you clear these online assessments, you are ready to go!
The contract duration will range from a minimum of one week up to a maximum of three months.
Maximum of 30 hours/week is allowed
This contract may require some overlap with UTC-8:00 (2-5 hrs/day) America/Los_Angeles. To be confirmed closer to the onboarding date
