Remote

We are sharing a specialised part-time consulting opportunity for Phylogenetics, Evolutionary Biology, Genetics, Genomics, Bioinformatics, Computational Biology, Molecular Biology, and Ecology & Evolution professionals experienced in domain-specific reasoning, research problem design, scientific writing, and structured data evaluation.

This role supports current and upcoming remote consulting opportunities focused on AI scientific reasoning evaluation, domain-specific problem development, high-quality data creation, advanced biology assessment, and research-informed project execution. Selected professionals will apply subject matter expertise to create challenging domain problems, assess scientific reasoning quality, and support structured evaluation work involving advanced biological and evolutionary concepts.

Key Responsibilities

Professionals in this role may contribute to:

Domain-Specific Problem Development

• Develop challenging problems and prompts involving phylogenetics, evolutionary biology, genetics, genomics, bioinformatics, computational biology, molecular biology, or ecology and evolution
• Create high-quality scientific tasks that require advanced domain understanding and rigorous reasoning
• Design problems that test conceptual depth, analytical thinking, scientific accuracy, and research-level interpretation
• Support data development work involving complex biological systems, evolutionary relationships, and domain-specific methodologies

Scientific Reasoning & AI Evaluation

• Review AI-generated scientific outputs for accuracy, completeness, reasoning quality, and domain relevance
• Evaluate whether responses reflect sound scientific reasoning, appropriate terminology, and correct interpretation of biological concepts
• Identify unsupported claims, incomplete explanations, methodological gaps, weak reasoning, or missing scientific nuance
• Assess written outputs against structured rubrics and project-specific evaluation criteria

Structured Data Quality & Feedback

• Provide clear, precise, and well-supported written feedback on scientific reasoning outputs
• Explain evaluation decisions with consistency, attention to detail, and domain-specific judgment
• Follow detailed task instructions and apply scientific review criteria accurately
• Participate in screening, onboarding, calibration, or domain alignment activities when required

Ideal Profile

Strong candidates may have:

• Advanced expertise in Phylogenetics, Evolutionary Biology, Genetics, Genomics, Bioinformatics, Computational Biology, Molecular Biology, Ecology & Evolution, or a closely related field
• Strong ability to create difficult, research-informed problems within a specialised scientific domain
• High attention to detail and ability to evaluate scientific content with accuracy and nuance
• Exceptional written communication skills and ability to explain scientific reasoning clearly
• Comfort applying structured rubrics, evaluation criteria, and project-specific guidelines consistently
• Ability to work independently in a remote, asynchronous, project-based environment
• Strong judgment when identifying reasoning gaps, unsupported conclusions, or incomplete scientific explanations

Educational Background

• PhD, advanced degree, or equivalent research experience in a relevant biological sciences field is preferred
• Relevant fields may include Evolutionary Biology, Phylogenetics, Genetics, Genomics, Bioinformatics, Computational Biology, Molecular Biology, Ecology & Evolution, or related disciplines
• Academic or professional experience involving scientific research, data analysis, research writing, biological modeling, computational methods, or domain-specific evaluation is highly relevant
• Experience with peer-reviewed research, graduate-level teaching, scientific assessment, or advanced technical writing may be especially valuable

Nice to Have

• Experience designing research problems, exam questions, technical prompts, scientific exercises, or advanced biology assessments
• Familiarity with phylogenetic methods, evolutionary inference, comparative biology, genomics workflows, or computational biology tools
• Experience reviewing scientific writing, research explanations, technical documentation, or structured scientific outputs
• Comfort identifying methodological issues, reasoning gaps, weak evidence, or unsupported scientific conclusions
• Strong ability to maintain consistency across detail-oriented scientific evaluation tasks

Why This Opportunity

• Apply advanced biology and phylogenetics expertise to structured remote project work
• Contribute to high-quality AI scientific reasoning evaluation and domain-specific data development
• Use research judgment, analytical thinking, and scientific writing strengths in a focused evaluation environment
• Work on flexible assignments aligned with specialised scientific expertise
• Remote structure with competitive hourly compensation

Contract Details

• Independent contractor role
• Fully remote with flexible scheduling
• Eligible professionals may be based in approved project locations, including Australia, Canada, New Zealand, the United Kingdom, and the United States, depending on project needs
• Part-time commitment depending on project availability, screening, and onboarding status
• Competitive rates of $45–$65 per hour depending on expertise, research background, domain depth, and project scope
• A short screening interview or task may be required and may cover domain expertise, written reasoning, and project fit
• Weekly payments via Stripe or Wise
• Projects may be extended, shortened, or adjusted depending on scope and performance
• Work will not involve access to confidential or proprietary information from any employer, client, or institution
