Biology Expert - AI Trainer (Remote, Portugal)

About the role

A remote, part-time contract (about 20 hours per week) for biology experts who create high-quality STEM training data for frontier AI models used by leading AI labs. The goal is to improve model reasoning in scientific domains. The project lasts 2 months, with potential extension, and pays up to 40 USD per hour.

Key responsibilities

• Create advanced biology problems that challenge frontier AI systems, with exactly one verifiable correct answer.
• Design deterministic tasks reflecting authentic scientific and analytical workflows, such as experimental reasoning, biological systems, computational analysis or bioinformatics workflows.
• Submit complete, verified solutions along with each problem.
• Use Python and, where relevant, specialized biology or bioinformatics tools.
• Maintain high standards of rigor, reproducibility and technical clarity.

Required profile

• Master's or PhD in Biology or a related life sciences field.
• Research or industry experience in computational or quantitative biological analysis.
• Strong reasoning ability and comfort with multi-step scientific problem solving.
• Ability to create original, difficult problems grounded in real biological practice.
• Clear written English and strong attention to detail.
• Nice to have: experience designing technical assessments or scientific challenge problems, and cross-disciplinary experience spanning biology and computation.

Required skills

• Strong Python skills.
• Data analysis or bioinformatics workflow experience preferred.
• Nice to have: bioinformatics toolkits, genomics workflows, structural biology tools or computational biology methods.
