Biochemistry & Molecular Biology Expert

Pay: $90/hour

Biochemists and molecular biologists to build the mechanism level life science scenarios frontier AI labs use to test model judgment.

AfterQuery builds the expert evaluation data that frontier AI labs use to measure and improve their models. We're hiring biochemists and molecular biologists as contractors to author and grade the mechanism level scenarios those evaluations run on. This is the broad life science pool that science evals draw on most.

What you'll actually do

• Author realistic molecular biology scenarios from assay design through data interpretation, the kind a working scientist actually reasons through.
• Write reference answers with the mechanistic reasoning behind each conclusion, pathways and evidence weighed.
• Grade model output for pathway accuracy, experimental logic, and appropriate uncertainty.
• Flag explanations that read fluent but get the biochemistry wrong, the misses only a trained scientist would catch.

Who this is for

• Biochemists and molecular biologists with an advanced degree or equivalent research experience.
• Researchers and industry scientists with hands on technique depth, cloning, protein work, sequencing, assay development, and beyond.
• Scientists who reason from mechanism and data, not from textbook summaries.
• People with strong written English who can turn scientific judgment into clear, teachable reasoning.

Contract and pay

• $60 to $120/hr, paid weekly via Stripe. Your rate is set from your experience, not negotiated down after you start.
• Remote, async. Fully remote, fully async. No fixed hours.
• Minimum 10 hours per week, no maximum. Scale up or down week to week.
• No screen recording, no keystroke monitoring, no idle timers.
• Independent contractor. Ongoing project work rather than single task batches.
