  • Currently pursuing or holding a Master's, Ph.D., or postdoctoral position in Biology or a related field
  • Strong analytical and research capabilities
  • Ability to solve complex biological problems using a structured approach
  • Strong foundation in advanced biological concepts
  • Ability to break difficult concepts into clear explanations
  • Comfortable with conceptual abstraction and multi-step reasoning
  • Strong data-interpretation and scientific problem-solving skills
  • Ability to provide detailed annotations and constructive feedback
  • Creative and lateral thinking abilities
  • Excellent written English communication
  • Strong remote collaboration skills
  • Self-motivated and able to work independently
  • Reliable desktop or laptop setup with a stable internet connection
  • Ability to explain biology concepts using simple language, visuals, and simulations where appropriate
