Biology & Biophysics Research Collaborator (Part-time)
About The Position
This role is for one of our clients. Join a leading AI research initiative developing the next generation of AI systems for scientific reasoning. We are seeking accomplished Biology & Biophysics Research Collaborators to help advance AI models capable of reasoning across complex life science disciplines at the level of active researchers—not textbooks. This opportunity is ideal for researchers with expertise in molecular biology, biophysics, structural biology, immunology, neuroscience, genomics, and related life science disciplines. Your research experience will directly contribute to improving AI systems that solve advanced scientific problems through rigorous biological reasoning. This is a remote, part-time engagement requiring up to 20 hours per week.
Requirements
- First-author or co-first-author publications in leading journals such as: Nature, Science, Cell, PNAS, eLife, The New England Journal of Medicine (NEJM), Nature Methods, Nature Medicine, Nature Biotechnology, Nature Communications.
