DESCRIPTION

Job Title: Clinical, Microbiome & Translational Research Scientist (PhD) 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 microbiome/metagenomics, clinical and translational bioinformatics, and related life sciences, with clear, verifiable solutions. • Review and evaluate AI model outputs for scientific accuracy, rigor, and depth of reasoning, catching subtle errors non-specialists would miss. • Develop detailed rubrics and reference answers grounded in primary literature and established methodology. • Apply domain expertise across areas such as 16S and shotgun metagenomics, virome/host-microbiome analysis, biomarker discovery, clinical genomics, and omics-driven precision medicine. • Provide clear written explanations of your reasoning so other experts can follow and validate it. • Meet quality standards through iterative feedback and peer review.
