Remote Biology Researcher - 34442

Are you passionate about solving challenging chemistry problems?

Turing is looking for researchers in Biology to test the reasoning capabilities of large language models (LLMs). You’ll create Biology problems, analyze model responses, and identify gaps in logic or understanding. The goal is to measure how well these models handle abstract thinking and structured problem-solving.

What does day-to-day look like?

You’ll create Biology problems, review how the AI solves them, and share insights on how well it understands complex reasoning and logical steps. You’ll take on tasks such as:

• Evaluate the logic behind a researcher’s claims about immune signaling. For instance, IL-2 promotes T cell proliferation, IFN-γ activates macrophages, and IL-10 is described as pro-inflammatory. Determine which interpretations reflect accurate biological functions.
• Review a student’s proposed strategy to study plant stress genes, including CRISPR knockouts, qPCR for expression analysis, and phenotypic observation under drought. Assess the reasoning behind each method and suggest refinements.

Eligibility:

• Strong background in Biology, Biotechnology, Biochemistry, or a related field.
• Strong research and analytical skills
• Able to provide clear, constructive feedback with examples
• Strong written communication, especially in remote settings
• Comfortable working independently
• Stable computer and internet access

Time Commitment & Contract Details:

• Commitments Required

  : at least 4 hours per day and minimum 20 hours per week with 4 hours of overlap with PST. (We have 3 options of time commitment: 20 hrs/week, 30 hrs/week, or 40 hrs/week)

• Engagement type:

  Contractor assignment/freelancer (no medical/paid leave)

• Duration of contract: 1 month; [expected start date is next week]

• Selection Process:

  Task-based assessment for shortlisted candidates, followed by a contract offer with defined timelines and workload.
