Biologist

Biology Expert (PhD) AI Safety ($65-$70/hr)

• PhD level biologists to help make advanced AI models safer
• Candidates to apply their scientific expertise to evaluate and strengthen how these models handle specialized life science topics
• No prior AI/ML experience is required; training on the workflow

Role Responsibilities

• Evaluate and annotate model responses for scientific accuracy, helpfulness, and appropriate handling of sensitive content
• Apply structured guidelines to classify prompts and conversations

Good Candidature

• A PhD in biology or a closely related life science field ongoing or completed (e.g., molecular biology, microbiology, virology, genetics, biochemistry, bioinformatics, synthetic biology, immunology)
• Deep familiarity with modern laboratory and computational techniques in your subfield.
• Strong scientific reasoning and writing in English
• Sound judgment around biosecurity and the responsible handling of dual use information

Nice to Have

• Research or coursework touching on biosafety/biosecurity, pathogen biology, or gain of function considerations
• Experience reviewing, grading, or red teaming technical content

Project Timeline

• Commitment: Part time (15-25 hours/week, with flexibility up to 40 hours/week)
