Microbiologist for AI Training

Apply microbiology expertise to improve how next-generation AI systems learn and reason. In this contract role you will convert real-world microbiological knowledge into clear, high-quality inputs and evaluations that shape model behavior, focusing on bacteria, fungi, and related organisms. No prior AI experience is required, domain knowledge and scientific rigor are the priorities.

• Investigate and analyze development, morphology, and behavior of microscopic organisms, including bacteria, fungi, and algae.
• Support studies on relationships between microorganisms and disease, contributing to medical microbiology-related tasks.
• Assess effects of antibiotics and other agents on microbial populations to inform model accuracy.
• Document experimental findings and procedures with clarity suitable for AI training data.
• Collaborate with interdisciplinary teams to maintain scientific rigor and data integrity during AI development.
• Provide written and verbal subject-matter expertise on microbiological phenomena and their implications for computational contexts.
• Apply rubrics and established evaluation criteria to assess data quality and support AI training workflows.

• Bachelor''s degree or higher in Biology, Microbiology, Chemistry, or a related field.
• Extensive knowledge of bacterial, fungal, and algal systems, including microbial structure and physiology.
• Strong written and verbal communication skills for technical and interdisciplinary collaboration.
• Proven ability to document processes and findings clearly for integration into AI systems.
• Comfort working independently in a fully remote, digital-first environment, with attention to detail and commitment to scientific accuracy.
• Required skills explicitly include: Biology, Microbiology, Chemistry, bacteria, fungi.

• Prior experience developing or applying rubrics in scientific or educational contexts.
• Experience with AI, machine learning, or annotation projects related to biology or microbiology.
• Advanced degree such as a Master’s or PhD in a relevant field.

• Engagement type, contractor.
• Location, fully remote.
• Work is project-based, contributing subject-matter expertise to training and evaluation of AI systems.

Pay range, $70 to $90 per hour.

• No prior experience in AI is required; applicants are evaluated on domain expertise in microbiology and related sciences.
• Candidates must be able to work independently in a remote, digital-first setting.
