Summary
Prolific is a company building the largest pool of quality human data for AI development used by thousands of AI developers and researchers worldwide. The role involves joining their Expert Network as a Biology Expert or Life Science Professional to train and evaluate AI models using scientific expertise by performing tasks such as reviewing AI-generated biological data and validating technical claims. Participants get paid for completing these tasks and contribute to improving AI accuracy and ethical standards.
Responsibilities
- Evaluate AI-Generated Science: review model responses to complex biological queries for factual accuracy, reasoning, and adherence to current scientific consensus
- Fact-Check Technical Claims: validate citations from public databases (e.g., PubMed, NCBI) and ensure AI-generated summaries of research papers are accurate
- Assess Experimental Logic: critique AI-proposed experimental designs, including controls, variables, and troubleshooting steps for lab procedures
- Annotate Scientific Data: identify and correct errors in model-generated biological sequences, chemical structures, or taxonomy classifications
- Ensure Ethical Alignment: verify that AI responses regarding bioethics and sensitive biological data comply with professional and safety standards
Skills
- Education: a BS, MS, or PhD in Biology, Molecular Biology, Genetics, Bioinformatics, Pharmacology, or a related Life Sciences field
- Professional Experience: years of experience in laboratory research, clinical trials, biotech, or academic instruction
- Scientific Literacy: the ability to interpret complex biological data, peer-reviewed journals, and technical protocols with high precision
- Critical Thinking: a sharp eye for identifying scientific 'hallucinations,' such as incorrect protein folding logic, misapplied genetic sequences, or flawed experimental designs
- Methodological Knowledge: deep understanding of the scientific method, statistical significance in biological contexts, and regulatory standards
- Communication: ability to explain intricate biological pathways or cellular mechanisms in clear, accurate technical prose
- A PayPal account to receive payment from our clients
