Microbiology Specialist

Are you a microbiology expert eager to shape the future of AI? Large‑scale language models are evolving from clever chatbots into powerful engines of scientific discovery. With high‑quality training data, tomorrow’s AI can democratize world‑class education, keep pace with cutting‑edge research, and streamline lab work for scientists everywhere. That training data begins with you - we need your expertise to help power the next generation of AI.

We’re looking for microbiology specialists who live and breathe bacteriology, virology, parasitology, mycology, microbial genetics, antibiotic resistance, microbial pathogenesis, environmental microbiology, industrial microbiology, and microbial ecology. You’ll challenge advanced language models on topics like host-pathogen interactions, culture techniques, microbial metabolism, clinical microbiology diagnostics, PCR and qPCR methodologies, sterile technique protocols, biosafety procedures, and the role of microbiomes in health and disease - documenting every failure mode so we can harden model reasoning.

On a typical day, you will converse with the model on lab scenarios and theoretical microbiology questions, verify factual accuracy and logical soundness, capture reproducible error traces, and suggest improvements to our prompt engineering and evaluation metrics.

A master’s or PhD in microbiology or a closely related life‑science field is ideal; peer‑reviewed publications, wet‑lab or field research, or hands‑on laboratory diagnostics projects signal fit. Clear, metacognitive communication - “showing your work” - is essential.

Ready to turn your microbiology expertise into the knowledge base for tomorrow’s AI? Apply today and start teaching the model that will teach the world.

We offer a pay range of $6-to- $65 per hour, with the exact rate determined after evaluating your experience, expertise, and geographic location. Final offer amounts may vary from the pay range listed above. As a contractor you’ll supply a secure computer and high‑speed internet; company‑sponsored benefits such as health insurance and PTO do not apply.
