Remote | Biologist — $70–$90/hour

We are sharing a specialised consulting opportunity for experienced Biologists with strong expertise in molecular biology, cell biology, CRISPR, wet-lab methods, cloning, genotyping, PCR-based assays, sequence design, and experimental workflow development to contribute to an advanced AI training and biological-science evaluation project.

Selected professionals will design and review molecular-biology workflows, evaluate genetic-engineering experiments, analyse biological data and cellular processes, and help translate complex experimental information into structured formats for AI training. The work requires strong hands-on laboratory experience, scientific rigour, and clear written and verbal communication. No prior experience in AI is required.

• Identify potential weaknesses or failure points in editing workflows

Cloning & Construct Development

• Develop cloning strategies for novel constructs
• Support generation of engineered cell lines
• Evaluate vector design and construct architecture
• Review cloning workflows for efficiency and reproducibility
• Identify technical issues affecting downstream validation

Genotyping & PCR-Based Validation

• Perform or review genotyping strategies
• Analyse PCR-based assays used to validate genetic modifications
• Evaluate assay design, controls, and interpretation
• Review sequence-based confirmation approaches
• Identify inconsistent or unsupported conclusions from validation data

Sequence Design & Screening

• Design synthetic DNA and RNA sequences
• Develop molecular screening strategies
• Support high-throughput screening logic
• Evaluate sequence design for experimental suitability
• Review screening workflows for accuracy and robustness

Molecular & Cell Biology Analysis

• Apply molecular-biology techniques to complex experimental questions
• Analyse cellular organisation and organelle function
• Evaluate relationships between molecular changes and cellular outcomes
• Review biological reasoning for scientific accuracy
• Interpret experimental results within appropriate cellular context

Wet-Lab Experimental Design

• Design and optimise laboratory workflows
• Define appropriate experimental controls
• Evaluate reproducibility and sources of variability
• Identify practical improvements to protocols
• Apply strong laboratory judgement to experimental troubleshooting

Scientific Data & AI Training Support

• Translate experimental data into structured formats for AI training
• Review AI-generated biological content for scientific accuracy
• Identify errors, oversimplifications, or unsupported interpretations
• Contribute high-quality domain input to training and evaluation datasets
• Support development of biologically rigorous annotation and review workflows

Documentation & Collaboration

• Document experimental procedures and results clearly
• Maintain strong standards of scientific reproducibility
• Communicate findings in written and verbal formats
• Collaborate with interdisciplinary and remote teams
• Support knowledge transfer through precise technical documentation

Ideal Profile

• Bachelor's degree or higher in Molecular Biology, Cell Biology, or a related discipline
• Strong expertise in CRISPR and gene-editing workflows
• Extensive hands-on wet-lab experience
• Demonstrated experience with cloning and construct development
• Strong genotyping and PCR-based assay experience
• Familiarity with sequence design and molecular screening strategies
• Strong understanding of molecular and cellular biology
• Ability to analyse molecule, organelle, and cellular functions
• Strong commitment to data accuracy and experimental rigour
• Experience optimising laboratory workflows
• Excellent written and verbal communication skills
• Strong attention to scientific detail
• Self-driven and collaborative working style
• Experience contributing to high-impact research projects is valuable
• Familiarity with rubric development, AI evaluation, or data annotation is advantageous
• Experience designing datasets or protocols for AI training or human-review workflows is beneficial
• Previous collaboration with interdisciplinary or remote teams is a plus
• No prior AI-training or model-evaluation experience is required

Engagement Details

• Independent contractor engagement
• Fully remote
• Compensation: $70–$90/hour
• Work will involve CRISPR, gene editing, cloning, genotyping, PCR assays, sequence design, molecular screening, cell biology, wet-lab experimental design, and AI-generated scientific-content evaluation
• Strong hands-on molecular-biology and laboratory experience is central to this engagement
• Assignments may involve experimental protocols, gene-editing scenarios, cellular and molecular datasets, screening workflows, and structured biological evaluation tasks
• Project scope, workload, biological topics, and evaluation standards may evolve depending on project requirements
• Work must be completed without using confidential, proprietary, or identifiable biological information belonging to any employer, client, laboratory, research institution, collaborator, or other third party
