Biology and Biophysics Researcher for AI Model Training

Join a pioneering team of biology and biophysics researchers dedicated to advancing AI systems for scientific reasoning. This role offers a unique opportunity to contribute to the development of models that reason about complex biological concepts at a level comparable to that of a working researcher. Your expertise will play a crucial role in shaping the future of AI in the life sciences.

• Author and review complex biology and biophysics problems to train and evaluate cutting-edge AI models.
• Evaluate model outputs on diverse tasks, including mechanism prediction, experimental design, and literature interpretation.
• Identify areas where current models fall short, particularly mistakes that a seasoned PhD researcher would recognize.
• Collaborate with a small program team and other senior contributors to enhance model performance.

This position is designed for accomplished researchers with a strong track record. Ideal candidates will possess:

• First-author or co-first-author publications in prestigious journals such as Nature, Science, Cell, PNAS, eLife, NEJM, and top specialty journals.
• Doctoral or postdoctoral training from a top-20 global institution in life sciences or STEM fields.
• Competitive fellowships (e.g., HHMI, NIH, NSF, Damon Runyon) or equivalent recognition.
• Issued patents, spin-out companies, or grants where the candidate was a named PI or co-PI.
• A current or recent active research role, such as PhD candidate, postdoc, instructor, faculty, principal scientist, or industry researcher.

Outstanding senior PhD students and recent graduates with strong publication records are encouraged to apply, as the depth of research output is valued over years of experience.

• Part-time commitment of 8 to 20 hours per week.
• W-2 employment with Cincinnatus LLC, which manages payroll, benefits, and compliance.
• No fixed end date; contributions will continue as long as the program requires your expertise.

Compensation is competitive and reflects research seniority and credentials, ranging from $125 to $225 per hour.

This position is open to qualified candidates who meet the outlined criteria. Cincinnatus LLC is an Equal Employment Opportunity employer, committed to diversity and inclusion in the workplace.
