Job Opportunity - Biology AI Training Expert

Biology Expert - AI Training (Life Sciences)

Location: New York, NY (Hybrid: On-site & Remote)

Company: Prolific

Role Type: Expert Network / Contractor

Potential Earnings: Up to $60 per hour

Job Overview

Prolific is seeking Biology Experts and Life Science Professionals to join its Expert Network. The primary objective is to help train and evaluate cutting-edge AI models using real scientific expertise. Successful candidates will complete a brief (10-15 minute) assessment and, if selected, participate in paid tasks requiring high-level biological knowledge to ensure AI factual accuracy and logical consistency.

Key Responsibilities

• Evaluate AI-Generated Science: Review model responses to complex biological queries for factual accuracy, reasoning, and adherence to scientific consensus.
• Fact-Check Technical Claims: Validate citations from public databases (e.g., PubMed, NCBI) and ensure AI summaries of research papers are accurate.
• Assess Experimental Logic: Critique AI-proposed experimental designs, including controls, variables, and lab troubleshooting steps.
• Annotate Scientific Data: Identify and correct errors in model-generated biological sequences, chemical structures, or taxonomy classifications.
• Ensure Ethical Alignment: Verify that AI responses regarding bioethics and sensitive biological data comply with professional and safety standards.
• Task Duration: Tasks typically require one hour of uninterrupted work, though many are shorter.
