We are seeking expert biologists to author and review high-quality academic assessment content for an AI research initiative. You will write and verify rigorous multiple-choice questions across core biology domains, evaluate solution quality, and help establish gold-standard benchmarks used to advance AI capabilities.
You Will Be Assigned One Of Two Task Types:
* Question Authoring — Create original, challenging multiple-choice questions in your area of biology expertise, rate their difficulty, and submit them for review.
* Question Verification — Review pre-written questions for accuracy, clarity, and rigor. Edit where needed, rate difficulty, and document any changes made.
* Ecology and Evolutionary Biology
* Genetics
* Cell Biology
* Biomedical Science
* Microbiology
* Molecular Biology
* Biochemistry
* Neuroscience
* Miscellaneous Biology
Key Responsibilities
* Author original biology questions that test deep conceptual understanding, not surface-level recall.
* Ensure questions are unambiguous, self-contained, and precisely defined — all necessary information must be in the problem statement.
* Rate each question's difficulty: Medium (intro undergraduate), Hard (advanced undergraduate), or Expert (post‐graduate and above).
* Provide 1 correct answer and 9 plausible but subtly incorrect alternatives that challenge expert-level solvers.
* Write step‐by‐step Chain‐of‐Thought solutions with clear, concise intermediate steps in markdown format.
* Supply 1–5 academic references per question from reputable sources (peer‐reviewed journals, university repositories).
* For verification tasks: flag issues with clarity, completeness, precision, or solvability and justify any edits made.
Ideal Qualifications
* PhD or doctoral candidate in Biology, Molecular Biology, Biochemistry, Neuroscience, or a closely related field.
* Master's degree considered for candidates with exceptional depth in a specific subdomain.
* Strong command of graduate-level biological concepts, experimental design, and data interpretation.
* Research publications or laboratory experience in biological sciences is a strong plus.
* Excellent written English and ability to express complex ideas clearly and concisely.
More About The Opportunity
* Expected commitment: 10+ hours/week.
* Asynchronous, fully remote work.
We consider all qualified applicants without regard to legally protected characteristics and provide reasonable accommodations upon request.
