Remote | Biology Expert (PhD/Master's) We are sharing a specialised opportunity for advanced biology researchers and graduate-level experts to contribute to large language model evaluation and training through challenging scientific problem design, rigorous reasoning, and high-quality solution development. Selected professionals will design and solve complex biology problems, develop structured step-by-step explanations, identify areas where advanced AI systems struggle, and collaborate with research teams on evaluation strategies and benchmarks spanning undergraduate through doctoral-level biology.

Key Responsibilities

Biology Problem Development

• Design challenging problems across advanced biology domains
• Create tasks that probe limitations in scientific reasoning
• Develop questions requiring conceptual abstraction and multi-step analysis
• Incorporate data interpretation and biological problem-solving where appropriate
• Maintain suitable difficulty across undergraduate through PhD-level topics

Scientific Reasoning & Solution Development

• Solve complex biology problems accurately and efficiently
• Produce clear and rigorous step-by-step solutions
• Explain assumptions and intermediate reasoning explicitly
• Apply structured scientific reasoning to challenging biological questions
• Present conclusions in a format suitable for evaluation and review

Model Evaluation & Error Analysis

• Evaluate how language models perform on biology-focused tasks
• Identify recurring weaknesses in conceptual understanding
• Analyse errors involving abstraction, multi-step reasoning, and data interpretation
• Distinguish factual mistakes from reasoning or interpretation failures
• Provide structured observations to support model improvement

Benchmark & Evaluation Design

• Contribute to new biology evaluation benchmarks
• Align problem design with specific research objectives
• Develop tasks spanning different levels of scientific complexity
• Refine evaluation criteria based on observed model behaviour
• Support consistent assessment across advanced biology domains

Research Collaboration & Technical Communication

• Collaborate remotely with researchers and technical contributors
• Explain complex biological concepts in clear and accessible language
• Provide constructive feedback and detailed annotations
• Communicate analytical findings in a structured format
• Work independently while maintaining reliable project delivery
