Biochemistry & Molecular Biology Expert

About the role

<p>Biochemists and molecular biologists to build the mechanism level life science scenarios frontier AI labs use to test model judgment.</p>

<p>AfterQuery builds the expert evaluation data that frontier AI labs use to measure and improve their models. We're hiring biochemists and molecular biologists as contractors to author and grade the mechanism level scenarios those evaluations run on. This is the broad life science pool that science evals draw on most.</p>

<p><strong>What you'll actually do</strong></p>

<ul>

<li>Author realistic molecular biology scenarios from assay design through data interpretation, the kind a working scientist actually reasons through.</li>

<li>Write reference answers with the mechanistic reasoning behind each conclusion, pathways and evidence weighed.</li>

<li>Grade model output for pathway accuracy, experimental logic, and appropriate uncertainty.</li>

<li>Flag explanations that read fluent but get the biochemistry wrong, the misses only a trained scientist would catch.</li>

Why apply

• Work stays in your specialty, judged on scientific judgment rather than output volume
• Set your own hours and scale up or down week to week
• Weekly pay via Stripe at a rate set from your experience
• Your judgment shapes how the next generation of AI handles molecular science

Responsibilities

• Author realistic molecular biology scenarios from assay design through data interpretation
• Write reference answers with the mechanistic reasoning behind each conclusion
• Grade model output for pathway accuracy and experimental logic
• Flag explanations that read fluent but get the biochemistry wrong

Required qualifications

• Advanced degree in biochemistry, molecular biology, or a closely related field
• 2+ years of research or industry experience in molecular life science
• Hands on depth in techniques such as cloning, protein work, sequencing, or assay design
• Clear written English for documenting scientific reasoning
• Able to commit at least 10 hours per week

Preferred qualifications

• PhD and peer reviewed publications
• Biotech or pharma industry research experience
• Bioinformatics or structural biology breadth
