Biology Assessment Specialist

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. You will be assigned one of two task types:

• Question Authoring — Create original, challenging multiple-choice questions in your area of biology expertise, rate their difficulty, and submit them for review.
• Question Verification — Review pre-written questions for accuracy, clarity, and rigor. Edit where needed, rate difficulty, and document any changes made. Biology Domains Covered Ecology and Evolutionary Biology, Genetics, Cell Biology, Biomedical Science, Microbiology, Molecular Biology, Biochemistry, Neuroscience, Miscellaneous Biology. Key Responsibilities
• 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)

• 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)
• For verification tasks: flag issues with clarity, completeness, precision, or solvability and justify any edits made Ideal Qualifications
• 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 More About the Opportunity
• Expected commitment: 10+ hours/week
• Asynchronous, fully remote work
