Biology Expert (PhD) - AI Safety

**About the role**

We're hiring PhD‑level biologists to help make advanced AI models safer. You'll apply your scientific expertise to evaluate and strengthen how these models handle specialized life‑science topics. No prior AI/ML experience is required, we'll train you on the workflow.

**What you'll do**

• Write expert‑level prompts across specialized life‑science topics.

• Evaluate and annotate model responses for scientific accuracy, helpfulness, and appropriate handling of sensitive content.

• Apply structured guidelines to classify prompts and conversations.

**What we're looking for**

• A PhD in biology or a closely related life‑science field, ongoing or completed (e.g., molecular biology, microbiology, virology, genetics, biochemistry, bioinformatics, synthetic biology, immunology).

• Deep familiarity with modern laboratory and computational techniques in your subfield.

• Strong scientific reasoning and writing in English.

• Sound judgment around biosecurity and the responsible handling of dual‑use information.

**Nice to have**

• Research or coursework touching on biosafety/biosecurity, pathogen biology, or gain‑of‑function considerations.

• Experience reviewing, grading, or red‑teaming technical content.

**Project Timeline**

• Start date: Immediate

• Commitment: Part‑time (15, 25 hours/week, with flexibility up to 40 hours/week)
