What the work actually involves
Taken from the live listings themselves:
- Role Overview We are seeking expert biologists to author and review high-quality academic assessment content for an AI research initiative.
- You will write and verify rigorous multiple-choice questions across core biology domains, evaluate solution quality, and help establish gold-standard benchmarks used to advance AI capabilities.
- 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.
Typical responsibilities
Pulled from the live listings in this category:
- Author original biology questions that test deep conceptual understanding, not surface-level recall
- Ensure questions are unambiguous, self-contained, and precisely defined, all necessary information must be in the problem statement
- Rate each question's difficulty: Medium (intro undergraduate), Hard (advanced undergraduate), or Expert (post-graduate and above)
- Provide 1 correct answer and 9 plausible but subtly incorrect alternatives that challenge expert-level solvers
- Write step-by-step Chain-of-Thought solutions with clear, concise intermediate steps in markdown format
- Supply 1, 5 academic references per question from reputable sources (peer-reviewed journals, university repositories)
What employers ask for
- PhD or doctoral candidate in Biology, Molecular Biology, Biochemistry, Neuroscience, or a closely related field
- Master's degree considered for candidates with exceptional depth in a specific subdomain
- Strong command of graduate-level biological concepts, experimental design, and data interpretation
- Research publications or laboratory experience in biological sciences is a strong plus
- Excellent written English and ability to express complex ideas clearly and concisely
- 5+ years of relevant professional experience in Biology / environmental science.
How the pay is spread
Half of the listings with a published rate fall between $70 and $95 an hour. The bottom of the range is $25 and the top is $170. 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 (11 of 23). 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.
