**Role Overview**

We are looking for experienced **Life Sciences researchers and subject-matter experts** to create advanced scientific reasoning tasks for an AI evaluation benchmark focused on biology and related disciplines.

This is a **non-coding research role**. The work centers on designing rigorous, self-contained scientific problems based on realistic experiments, biological data, figures, sequences, structures, literature-style evidence, and research scenarios. The goal is to create tasks that test whether AI systems can genuinely **interpret evidence, reason scientifically, and synthesize information**, rather than simply recall facts.

Relevant backgrounds include **Molecular Biology, Genetics & Genomics, Cell Biology, Biochemistry, Neuroscience, Microbiology, Immunology, Evolutionary Biology, Ecology, Structural Biology, Biophysics, Developmental Biology, Cancer Biology, Pharmacology**, and related fields.

**CONTRACT:** Contractor assignment, 6 weeks

**COMMITMENT:** Hourly, up to 40h/week

**PROCESS:** Application form -> 60 min online test (analyzing biochemical measurements and distinguishing among mechanistic defects in enzyme variants)

**Key Responsibilities**

-   Design **challenging life-sciences reasoning problems** for AI evaluation.
-   Create tasks based on realistic experiments, biological datasets, figures, sequences, structures, and scientific evidence.
-   Write questions with clear, objectively defensible answers.
-   Develop rigorous expert reference answers explaining the required scientific reasoning.
-   Ensure tasks test **interpretation and synthesis**, not simple factual recall.
-   Validate biological claims, calculations, assumptions, and conclusions.
-   Identify ambiguity, alternative valid interpretations, and poorly constrained questions.
-   Build tasks that meaningfully differentiate advanced AI models based on scientific reasoning ability.
-   Incorporate reviewer feedback while maintaining high quality and throughput.
-   Document tasks clearly and reproducibly where applicable.

## Requirements

-   **PhD, postdoctoral experience, or equivalent advanced research experience** in the Life Sciences.
-   Deep expertise in at least one biological discipline.
-   Strong ability to interpret **scientific experiments, data, and research findings**.
-   Strong understanding of experimental design and scientific reasoning.
