Job description

Life Sciences Research Scientist (PhD): Wet Lab & Computational Biology at micro1

Job Title: Life Sciences Research Scientist (PhD): Wet Lab & Computational Biology Job Type: Contractor Location: Remote(Worldwide) Job Summary: In this role, you'll apply your expertise to help train next-generation AI systems. Your work will shape how models learn, reason, and perform through high-quality, real-world input. Key

Responsibilities

Design and write challenging, expert-level scientific problems in the life sciences, with clear, verifiable solutions. Review and evaluate AI model outputs for scientific accuracy, rigor, and depth of reasoning, catching subtle errors that non-specialists would miss. Develop detailed rubrics and reference answers grounded in primary literature and established experimental and computational methodology.

Apply your domain expertise in areas such as genomics, transcriptomics and single-cell/spatial omics, epigenomics, proteomics and metabolomics, microbiome and metagenomics, structural biology, drug discovery, systems biology, and clinical/translational research. Bridge experimental and computational perspectives: assess whether a proposed experiment, analysis pipeline, or interpretation is scientifically sound. Provide clear written explanations of your reasoning so other experts can follow and validate it.

Meet quality standards through iterative feedback and peer review.
