- Dedicate time researching topics that are interesting to you, with the assistance of AI.
- Learn new skills while contributing to the changing world of AI across various disciplines.
- Placement into a project will be dependent on project availability.
Qualifications
Selection for each project is limited to a small cohort chosen for their disciplinary and research expertise. We are seeking experts in new research areas to test the limits of the world’s top LLMs’ scientific and language understanding by completing tasks that impact the next frontier AI model.
- Masters students and graduates in Biology.
- Able to participate in primarily asynchronous work in partnership with leading AI labs.
- Believe your expertise can outmatch current AI systems in understanding and explaining key concepts in your field.
