With a strong background in software engineering and leadership, we help companies build high-performing teams by matching them with professionals who truly fit their needs.\nRole Overview\nWe are looking for experienced Life Sciences researchers and subject-matter experts to create advanced scientific reasoning tasks for an AI evaluation benchmark focused on biology and related disciplines.\nThis is a non-coding research role. The work centers on designing rigorous, self-contained scientific problems based on realistic experiments, biological data, figures, sequences, structures, literature-style evidence, and research scenarios. The goal is to create tasks that test whether AI systems can genuinely interpret evidence, reason scientifically, and synthesize information, rather than simply recall facts.\nRelevant backgrounds include Molecular Biology, Genetics & Genomics, Cell Biology, Biochemistry, Neuroscience, Microbiology, Immunology, Evolutionary Biology, Ecology, Structural Biology, Biophysics, Developmental Biology, Cancer Biology, Pharmacology, and related fields.\nCONTRACT: Contractor assignment, 6 weeks\nCOMMITMENT: Hourly, up to 40h/week\nLOCATIONS: Remote - Argentina, Bangladesh, Brazil, Colombia, Egypt, Nigeria , Ghana, India, Indonesia, Turkey, Chile, Peru, Sri Lanka, Saudi Arabia, Nepal, Mexico\nPROCESS: Application form -> 60 min online test (analyzing biochemical measurements and distinguishing among mechanistic defects in enzyme variants)\nKey Responsibilities\nDesign challenging life-sciences reasoning problems for AI evaluation. \nCreate tasks based on realistic experiments, biological datasets, figures, sequences, structures, and scientific evidence. \nWrite questions with clear, objectively defensible answers. \nDevelop rigorous expert reference answers explaining the required scientific reasoning. \nEnsure tasks test interpretation and synthesis, not simple factual recall. \nValidate biological claims, calculations, assumptions, and conclusions. \nIdentify ambiguity, alternative valid interpretations, and poorly constrained questions. \nBuild tasks that meaningfully differentiate advanced AI models based on scientific reasoning ability. \nIncorporate reviewer feedback while maintaining high quality and throughput. \nDocument tasks clearly and reproducibly where applicable.\nRequirements\nPhD, postdoctoral experience, or equivalent advanced research experience in the Life Sciences. \nDeep expertise in at least one biological discipline. \nStrong ability to interpret scientific experiments, data, and research findings. \nStrong understanding of experimental design and scientific reasoning.","description_format":"text","description_chars":2753,"description_truncated":false,"requirements":{"experience_years_min":null,"management_years_min":null,"team_size_min":null,"manages_managers":false,"education":{"level":"master","optional":false},"security_clearance":false,"languages":[]},"benefits":[],"hiring_locations":[{"name":"Mexico","iso":"MX","kind":"country"},{"name":"Saudi Arabia","iso":"SA","kind":"country"},{"name":"Turkey","iso":"TR","kind":"country"},{"name":"Chile","iso":"CL","kind":"country"},{"name":"Peru","iso":"PE","kind":"country"}],"hiring_excludes":[],"relocation_offered":false,"industries":["Biotechnology","Professional Services"],"lifecycle":[{"event":"open","at":"2026-09-19T08:40:06Z"}],"liveness":{"score":71,"band":"hot","label":"Hiring now","p_open":1,"p_active":0.749,"p_room":0.945,"age_days":5,"expected_fill_days":13,"reasons":["conf:0","velocity","win:mid"],"computed_at":"2026-09-25T05:45:01Z"},"pay":null,"html_url":"https://alion.io/job/gramian-consulting-group-life-sciences-research-expert-scientific-reasoning-ai-evaluation","json_url":"https://alion.io/job/gramian-consulting-group-life-sciences-research-expert-scientific-reasoning-ai-evaluation.json","meta":{"generated_at":"2026-09-26T00:43:54Z","cache_seconds":300,"methodology":"https://alion.io/methodology","terms":"https://alion.io/terms","contact":"https://alion.io/contact","api":"https://alion.io/developers","usage":{"tier":"crawler","counted_by":"address","units_charged":1,"used_today":696,"day_limit":5000,"remaining_today":4304,"minute_limit":60,"resets_at":"2026-09-27T00:00:00Z"}}}
