Life Sciences Subject Matter Expert (Biology)

The work

You will evaluate complex or unclear life science problems and AI-generated responses. Your reviews will help assess the accuracy, reasoning, and reliability of AI systems.

The role focuses on biology and related life science fields, including molecular and cell biology, genetics, biochemistry, microbiology, immunology, neuroscience, physiology, ecology, pharmacology, and computational biology. Your duties and qualifications should be reviewed before applying.

You will also create evaluation frameworks, scoring rubrics, and reference answers; help resolve reviewer disagreements; document decisions; write clear explanations; and provide specialized scientific consultation.

• Review biological mechanisms, experimental methods, research findings, datasets, computational models, and scientific literature.
• Identify unsupported claims, methodological errors, gaps in reasoning, weak controls, missing statistical analysis, and conclusions without enough evidence.
• Assess scientific literature, experimental controls, statistical methods, and how data has been interpreted.
• Explain scientific reasoning clearly and document consensus using project quality standards.
