PhD Biology Expert / Life Sciences Expert
Design challenging biology problems to evaluate advanced AI models.
Frontier models are tested on graduate-level math and science, and the people who write those tests are subject experts: mathematicians, physicists, chemists, biologists and PhD researchers. The work is writing hard problems with verified answers and checking a model's step-by-step reasoning. Right now 79 STEM roles are open across Meridial, AfterQuery, Micro1, Mercor, Turing and DataAnnotation, and most of the hourly ones pay about $30–$200 an hour. Every listing links straight to the company's own application page.

Models routinely propose impossible mechanisms, unsafe procedures, and syntheses that no bench chemist would attempt.
Models can recite physics and still get it wrong: dimensional errors, misapplied approximations, and derivations that skip the step where the physics actually happens.
Frontier models still fail at rigorous multi-step mathematics: invalid derivations, unjustified leaps, and confidently wrong final answers. Automated checks can't grade a proof. You can.
Models blur the line between what's established, what's contested, and what's simply made up in the life sciences, and they cite papers that don't exist.
