What the work actually involves
Taken from the live listings themselves:
- About Mercor’s talent network Join our Biologist Expert Network to connect with leading AI labs and companies seeking your expertise.
- This is an open application for future contract opportunities that match your background and interests.
- About Turing: Based in San Francisco, California, Turing is the world’s leading research accelerator for frontier AI labs and a trusted partner for global enterprises deploying advanced AI systems.
- You should be able to break down complex biological concepts into simple, clear explanations and work efficiently.
Typical responsibilities
Pulled from the live listings in this category:
- Lead the design, optimization, and execution of CRISPR-based gene editing experiments.
- Develop and implement cloning strategies to generate novel constructs and cell lines.
- Perform genotyping, PCR-based assays, and sequence analyses to validate genetic modifications.
- Design synthetic DNA/RNA sequences and contribute to screening logic for high-throughput workflows.
- Collaborate with interdisciplinary teams to translate experimental data into structured formats for AI model training.
- Apply molecular biology techniques to study and characterize molecules, organelles, and cellular organization.
What employers ask for
- Doctoral students and graduates (including those currently enrolled in a PhD program or in postdoctoral positions) in Biology or closely related life sciences fields.
- Expertise in CRISPR technology and gene editing workflows.
- Extensive hands-on experience with cloning, genotyping, and PCR-based assays.
- Strong background in sequence design and molecular screening strategies.
- Excellent written and verbal communication skills, with keen attention to scientific detail.
- Ability to research and analyze molecular and organelle functions within cells.
How the pay is spread
Half of the listings with a published rate fall between $70 and $87 an hour. The bottom of the range is $25 and the top is $150. Rate depends far more on credentials and specialism than on which platform you use.
Which platform to start with
micro1 currently lists the most roles in this category (10 of 22). Platforms differ mainly in eligibility and how they screen, not in the kind of work. See which platforms hire in your country before you spend time on applications.
How to apply
Applications are completed on the hiring platform, not on this site. Most of these platforms screen with a short qualification step before routing you to paid work, so a complete profile matters more than a long cover letter. Applying is free and none of these platforms charge a fee to start.
