Use your hands-on experience in biology, biochemistry, plant science or a related field to write research-level problems for AI models. Remote, flexible contract work. AfterQuery works with leading AI labs to build the expert data that tests and trains AI models. We're looking for experimental biologists and physiologists who work with raw lab and greenhouse readouts: the cell counts, assays, growth and physiology measurements, and isotope labelling work you design and analyze. Requirements Technical: Working knowledge of Python (R is a plus) for analyzing your own plate-reader, cytometer or sensor exports. Work authorization: Must be able to work as an independent contractor without visa sponsorship. Students on F-1 visas (including OPT/CPT) are not eligible. Preferred Background: a PhD or Master's degree with several years of bench work; postdocs are a strong fit. Hands-on work with real data, rather than pure bioinformatics or technician roles with no analysis responsibility. Contract and pay Flexible, independent-contractor work: $300 per approved task, about 6 hours each (roughly $50 per hour), with no cap on how many tasks you take on. All accepted experts undergo standard background and identity verification.
AfterQuery is a Y Combinator-backed company that produces expert data for frontier AI labs. It hires professionals and specialists to build hard evaluation problems, write gold-standard answers and review model reasoning.
