This role is for one of the Weekday's clients We are collaborating with a leading AI research lab to advance the application of AI in tackling complex scientific challenges. This project focuses on building a state-of-the-art benchmark to evaluate the capabilities of cutting-edge AI models in the field of biology. The primary goal is to test the model’s ability to understand potential failures in biological research protocols and propose strategies to mitigate these issues. Success in this role requires a strong foundation in biological research methodology and deep knowledge of failure modes in experimental workflows. Requirements Why You’re a Great Fit You’re an ideal candidate if you: Are a current Ph.D. student or hold an advanced degree (e.g., Postdoctoral Fellow, Research Scientist ) in Molecular Biology, Microbiology, Bioengineering, Immunology , or a related discipline Have 2 years of wet lab experience Possess extensive familiarity with research methods and experimental protocols Demonstrate exceptional attention to detail and rigorous problem-solving skills Excel in written and verbal communication Role Highlights Workload: 10–20 hours per week, with potential to scale up to 40 hours Schedule: Fully remote and asynchronous — flexible working hours Duration: Initial 1–2 month engagement, with opportunities for extension Compensation & Contract Competitive hourly compensation Independent contractor arrangement Weekly payments via Stripe Connect Compensation: $60-$80per hour Screening Process A brief 20-minute interview and form precedes selection Decisions are typically made within 1–2 weeks following assessment Currently open to applicants based in the U.S., UK, Canada, Australia, or New Zealand
