About AI Training Work

AI training is the human side of building artificial intelligence. Experts review examples, evaluate model responses, and provide structured feedback so AI systems become more accurate, useful, and reliable.

In this role, your computational biology judgment will help assess whether AI-generated scientific content is accurate, relevant, and useful in real research contexts.

  • Work remotely with a flexible schedule
  • Help shape the behavior of cutting-edge AI systems
  • Apply specialized scientific knowledge to practical evaluation tasks

The Role

OpenTrain is seeking a Computational Biology AI Evaluation Expert to review, annotate, and benchmark AI systems in real-world computational biology use cases. You will evaluate outputs across genomics, transcriptomics, structural biology, and systems biology, documenting clear scientific observations and feedback.

You will also assess scientific workflows and pipelines, identify strengths and gaps, and communicate findings to both technical and non-technical stakeholders.

  • Expert-level computational biology AI evaluation
  • Text-based evaluation, rating, annotation, and RLHF work
  • Worldwide remote contract position

What You'll Do

Your work will combine scientific analysis, model evaluation, and clear documentation. Evaluations should be grounded in relevant computational biology context and supported by a clear rationale.

  • Evaluate AI-generated answers and model outputs in computational biology scenarios
  • Annotate and benchmark responses for scientific accuracy, relevance, and usefulness
  • Review biological workflows and pipelines for strengths, weaknesses, and improvement opportunities
  • Provide feedback grounded in genomics, transcriptomics, structural biology, or systems biology
  • Document findings with clear rationale and actionable insights
  • Communicate complex scientific concepts clearly in written and verbal form

Required Qualifications

This role requires PhD-level training in biology, bioinformatics, or a closely related field, or equivalent industry or research experience. Candidates should bring hands-on computational biology expertise and the ability to judge scientific outputs with precision.

  • PhD in Biology, Bioinformatics, or a closely related field, or equivalent industry or research experience
  • Data-driven biological research and computational analysis experience
  • Experience with computational biology workflows, genomics, or transcriptomics analysis
  • Strong scientific reasoning, analytical thinking, problem-solving, and pipeline-review judgment
  • Ability to evaluate AI-generated scientific outputs for accuracy and relevance
  • Python, R, Bash, or related scientific scripting experience
  • Clear written and verbal communication for technical and non-technical audiences

Helpful Background

Familiarity with AI, machine learning, or large language model evaluation in a biology context is useful. Experience with the following tools, workflows, or research activities will also support success in the role.

  • BWA, GATK, STAR, Salmon, Seurat, or Scanpy
  • Next-generation sequencing pipelines
  • CRISPR workflows
  • AlphaFold or PyMOL
  • Published research in computational biology or bioinformatics
  • Open-source contributions in computational biology or bioinformatics

1. HOW DO YOU PLAN YOUR DAY?

This is what this question poses: When do you focus and start working seriously? What are the hours you work optimally? Are you a night owl? A morning bird? Remote teams can be made up of people working on different shifts and around the world, so you won't necessarily be stuck in the 9-5 schedule if it's not for you...

2. HOW DO YOU USE THE DIFFERENT COMMUNICATION TOOLS IN DIFFERENT SITUATIONS?

When you're working on a remote team, there's no way to chat in the hallway between meetings or catch up on the latest project during an office carpool. Therefore, virtual communication will be absolutely essential to get your work done...

3. WHAT IS "WORKING REMOTE" REALLY FOR YOU?

Many people want to work remotely because of the flexibility it allows. You can work anywhere and at any time of the day...

4. WHAT DO YOU NEED IN YOUR PHYSICAL WORKSPACE TO SUCCEED IN YOUR WORK?

With this question, companies are looking to see what equipment they may need to provide you with and to verify how aware you are of what remote working could mean for you physically and logistically...

5. HOW DO YOU PROCESS INFORMATION?
