Job Description
Job Description1. Role Overview
Collaborating with a leading AI research lab on a project to advance frontier biology problem-solving. We are looking for biology experts who hold a PhD or Masters degree, or have experience participating in theInternational Biology Olympiad (IBO). The goal of this project is tocreate novel, clear, and challenging Olympiad-style biology problemsthat cause the frontier AI models to fail (i.e. generate an incorrect response) and support the training of cutting-edge AI models.
This is a short-term, high impact, remote opportunity for those excited about applying their expertise to frontier AI research, with the possibility of extension based on performance.
2. Key Responsibilities
-
Writeoriginal advanced IBO-style biologyproblems to challenge frontier AI models
-
Evaluate AI-generated solutions forcorrectness, clarity and styleand identify where models fail
-
Identifylogical flaws, incomplete reasoning, or insufficiently-rigorous proofs
-
Provideclear, concise, and correct solutions chain of thought reasoningusing proper LaTeX formatting
-
Maintain extremely high standards of precision and problem difficulty
3. Required Qualifications
Note: Applicants must be highly proficient in writing and formatting documents using LaTeX
You are a good fit for the project if you have any of the following experiences:
- Have aMasters or PhD in biology(or a related field), or are anOlympiad participant or medalistin the IBO (preferred) or equivalent competitions (RBO, CBO, IBO TST, ABO, EUBO, USABO, BBO, INBO, JBO, UBC, IBO Challenge, NSBO, etc.)
Other qualifications:
-
Deep understanding of your domainscore theoretical and experimental concepts
-
Ability toarticulate reasoning and derivationsclearly in written form
-
Strong ability to evaluate the rigor and complexity of biology problems
-
Rigorous attention to detail in verifying solutions
4. More About the Opportunity
-
Expected commitment: 20 hours/week minimum; up to 40 hours/week available
-
Approximate project length: ~2 months, with extension potential
-
Rolling start dates; setup typically within 12 days of approval
