The work
You will create expert data that helps test and train AI models. The work turns real laboratory and greenhouse observations into clear, technically rigorous problems and explanations.
You will work independently on flexible, task-based assignments without a fixed weekly schedule.
- Write research-level problems in biology, biochemistry, plant science, physiology, and experimental research.
- Work with cell counts, assays, growth and physiology measurements, isotope labeling, and other raw laboratory or greenhouse readouts.
- Analyze exports from plate readers, cytometers, or sensors using Python or a similar programming language.
- Design and analyze experiments with attention to controls, batch effects, accuracy, clarity, and documentation.

About AI training work
AI training is the human work behind systems that learn from examples, including writing problems, reviewing answers, and evaluating model behavior. Scientific specialists help make those examples accurate, useful, and grounded in real research.
