Biology Specialist (Masters/PhDs)

Biology Specialist (Masters/PhDs) - AI Training

About The Role

What if your years of graduate-level biology training could directly shape how AI reasons about genetics, biotechnology, and the life sciences — influencing tools used by researchers and scientists around the world? We're looking for Biology Specialists with advanced degrees to tackle complex, real-world problems and help train the next generation of AI models. You'll bring scientific rigor to cutting-edge AI development — reviewing, designing, and solving problems that push the boundaries of what AI understands about biology. This is a fully remote, flexible contract role built for working scientists and researchers. No prior AI experience required — just deep domain expertise and a sharp analytical mind.
