Are you a master of isolating pathogens eager to shape the future of AI? Large‑scale language models are evolving from clever chatbots into powerful engines of scientific discovery. With high‑quality training data, tomorrow’s AI can democratize world‑class education, accelerate infectious disease research, and support diagnostic laboratories around the world. That training data begins with you—we need your expertise to help power the next generation of AI.
We’re looking for specialists who live and breathe pathogen isolation, microbial culture techniques, enrichment and selective media, aseptic and sterile protocols, biosafety, clinical microbiology, and diagnostic workflows. You’ll challenge advanced language models on topics like isolation of bacterial, viral, fungal, and parasitic pathogens from clinical and environmental samples, differential and selective plating, colony morphology, gram staining, hemolysis patterns, anaerobic culturing, and contamination control—documenting every failure mode so we can harden model reasoning.
On a typical day, you will converse with the model on real-world lab scenarios and theoretical microbiological questions, verify factual accuracy and logical soundness, capture reproducible error traces, and suggest improvements to our prompt engineering and evaluation metrics.
A PhD in microbiology, clinical laboratory science, medical technology, or a closely related life‑science field is ideal; peer‑reviewed publications, hands‑on experience with pathogen isolation in clinical, research, or public health labs, and knowledge of biosafety levels (BSL-1 to BSL-4) signal fit. Clear, metacognitive communication—“showing your work”—is essential.
Ready to turn your pathogen isolation expertise into the knowledge base for tomorrow’s AI? Apply today and start teaching the model that will teach the world.
We offer a pay range of $8-to- $65 per hour, with the exact rate determined after evaluating your experience, expertise, and geographic location. Final offer amounts may vary from the pay range listed above. As a contractor you’ll supply a secure computer and high‑speed internet; company‑sponsored benefits such as health insurance and PTO do not apply.
