Job Description

Handshake is seeking Biology PhDs to support AI research through flexible, hourly contract work. This is not a traditional academic or full-time role. You’ll use your advanced biological training to evaluate AI-generated content and provide feedback that helps AI better understand biological reasoning, experimental design, data interpretation, and scientific problem-solving. This is an ongoing, project-based opportunity that can be done alongside research, teaching, postdoctoral work, or industry employment.

Job Responsibility

  • Use your advanced biological training to evaluate AI-generated content and provide feedback that helps AI better understand biological reasoning, experimental design, data interpretation, and scientific problem-solving
  • Design rigorous, domain-relevant questions and review AI-generated responses for scientific accuracy, logical consistency, and biological validity

Requirements

  • Doctoral students and graduates (including those currently enrolled in a PhD program or in postdoctoral positions) in Biology or closely related life sciences fields
  • Strong background in advanced biological reasoning, experimental design, data interpretation, and core principles across subdisciplines such as molecular biology, genetics, cell biology, biochemistry, physiology, ecology, or computational biology
  • F-1 students who are eligible for CPT or OPT may be eligible for projects on Handshake AI

What we offer

Fully remote with a flexible, asynchronous schedule and no minimum hour requirement
