Role: Biology - Graduates - AI Training

Company: Prolific

About Prolific: Building the biggest pool of quality human data in the world. Over 35,000 AI developers, researchers, and organizations use Prolific to gather data from paid study participants.

Role Description: Seeking Biology Experts and Life Science Professionals to join their Expert Network to train and evaluate cutting-edge AI models using real scientific expertise. Applicants will need to complete a 10- to 15-minute test to assess skills for AI tasks, and if successful, will get paid to train and evaluate powerful AI models. Researchers pay up to $60 per hour for tasks requiring one hour of uninterrupted work (though many are shorter).

Requirements

• Education: BS, MS, or PhD in Biology, Molecular Biology, Genetics, Bioinformatics, Pharmacology, or related Life Sciences field.
• Professional Experience: Years of experience in laboratory research, clinical trials, biotech, or academic instruction.
• Scientific Literacy: Ability to interpret complex biological data, peer-reviewed journals, and technical protocols with high precision.
• Critical Thinking: Sharp eye for identifying scientific "hallucinations" (e.g., incorrect protein folding logic, misapplied genetic sequences, flawed experimental designs).
• Methodological Knowledge: Deep understanding of the scientific method, statistical significance in biological contexts, and regulatory standards.
• Communication: Ability to explain intricate biological pathways or cellular mechanisms in clear, accurate technical prose.
• Payment: PayPal account to receive payment.
  
  

Responsibilities

• Evaluate AI-Generated Science: Review model responses to complex biological queries for factual accuracy, reasoning, and adherence to current scientific consensus.
• Fact-Check Technical Claims: Validate citations from public databases (e.g., PubMed, NCBI) and ensure AI-generated summaries of research papers are accurate.
• Assess Experimental Logic: Critique AI-proposed experimental designs, including controls, variables, and troubleshooting steps for lab procedures.
• 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.
  
  

Why Join: Influence AI models of the future with professional expertise. Pass assessment, join in 15 minutes, and enjoy competitive pay rates, flexible hours, and ability to work from home.

Additional Info: Prolific connects researchers and companies with a global pool of participants for high-quality, ethically sourced human behavioral data and feedback, which is key to developing accurate, nuanced, and aligned AI systems.
