Biological Analyst

About this role:

This is a remote opportunity for a biologist with a PhD to work on projects fine-tuning large language models using strong analytical and English comprehension skills.

• The ideal candidate should have a solid foundation in biology, particularly at the level expected in PhD-level programs.
• You should be able to break down complex biological concepts into simple, clear explanations and work efficiently.

Responsibilities:

• 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).

Requirements:

• Candidates pursuing a Ph.D./Postdoctoral degree in biology, biotechnology, biochemistry, or a related field are eligible and encouraged to apply.
• Good research and analytical skills
• Ability to provide constructive feedback and detailed annotations.
• Creative and lateral thinking abilities.
• Excellent structured communication and collaboration skills in a remote setting.
• Self-motivated and able to work independently in a remote setting.
• Desktop/Laptop setup with a good internet connection.

Preferred Qualifications:

• Ability to analyze and solve complex biological problems with a structured approach.
• Ability to explain biology concepts clearly using simple language, visuals, and simulations when needed.

Perks of Freelancing:

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

Selection Process:

• Shortlisted experts may be asked to complete an assessment.
• If you clear the assessment, you will be contacted for contract assignments with expected start dates, durations, and end dates.
• Some contract assignments require fixed weekly hours, averaging 20/30/40 hours per week for the duration of the contract assignment.
