Job Description: Life Sciences Research Scientist (PhD) – Wet Lab & Computational Biology
Role Type: Contractor
Location: Remote (Worldwide)
About the Role
We are seeking experienced Life Sciences Research Scientists with PhD-level expertise in wet lab and computational biology to contribute to the development and evaluation of next-generation AI systems.
In this role, you will apply your scientific knowledge to create challenging research problems, evaluate AI-generated responses, and assess the accuracy and depth of scientific reasoning. Your expertise will help ensure that AI systems produce reliable, evidence-based scientific insights grounded in established experimental methods and computational research practices.
Key Responsibilities
Design and develop challenging, expert-level scientific problems in life sciences with clear, verifiable solutions.
Review and evaluate AI-generated outputs for scientific accuracy, methodological rigor, and depth of reasoning.
Develop detailed evaluation rubrics and reference answers based on primary literature and established experimental and computational methodologies.
Apply domain expertise across areas such as genomics, transcriptomics, single-cell and spatial omics, epigenomics, proteomics, metabolomics, microbiome research, metagenomics, structural biology, drug discovery, systems biology, and clinical or translational research.
Evaluate experimental designs, computational analysis pipelines, and scientific interpretations for accuracy and validity.
Provide clear, detailed written explanations of scientific reasoning to support expert review and validation.
Maintain high-quality standards through iterative feedback, revisions, and peer review.
Required Qualifications
Completed PhD in Biology, Molecular Biology, Genetics, Genomics, Biochemistry, Bioinformatics, Computational Biology, Immunology, Neuroscience, Microbiology, or a closely related life sciences field.
Hands-on research experience in an academic, institutional, or industry research laboratory.
Professional written and spoken English proficiency (C1 level or higher).
Strongly Preferred Qualifications
Practical wet lab experience performing techniques such as PCR/qPCR, cell culture, sequencing library preparation, Western blotting, protein purification, LC-MS sample preparation, or CRISPR workflows.
Academic research experience as a Postdoctoral Researcher, Staff Scientist, Research Faculty Member, or in an equivalent position.
Peer-reviewed scientific publications, preferably as a first or corresponding author.
PhD from a leading research university in the US, UK, or another recognized research institution.
