Compensation: $70 per hour

We are hiring PhD and Master's scientists to author AI evaluation tasks (Sci Code)

We are partnering with leading AI labs on a new benchmark for scientific computing. You will author original, executable research problems that today's frontier models cannot solve.

Domains — depth required in at least two subdomains (with a coding focus)

Biology — ecology, biochemistry, genetics

Requirements

What you'll do

Source your own material: a published paper, a Kaggle dataset, an open-source repository, or a scenario you design

Write scientific prompts based on the input

Build the grading criteria that define a correct answer

Calibrate against frontier models — a task ships only when strong models fail it more often than they succeed

Required

PhD in biology, biological sciences, biochemistry, genetics, ecology, or a closely related field

Demonstrated depth in at least two of the following subdomains: ecology, biochemistry, genetics

Working proficiency in Python, R, or another relevant programming language for scientific computing

Comfortable with Git/GitHub and running code in Docker — authoring runs through a pull-request workflow with automated quality checks

Preferred

Publications in peer-reviewed journals

Prior scientific software or research engineering experience

Engagement

Duration: 6 weeks

Commitment: part-time, 20+ hours per week

Start date: immediate

Process

Upload your resume and application form

A 25-minute conversational interview covering your background, experience, and motivations

Follow up within a few days with next steps and onboarding

Apply today and put your research expertise to work building the next generation of scientific AI.

We consider all qualified applicants without regard to legally protected characteristics and provide reasonable accommodations upon request.
