Remote Research Scientist, Life Sciences (PhD)
About Us
We are building the gold-standard data layer that AI drug discovery platforms will run on. Partnered with leading AI labs, global tech companies, and top pharma, we're a fast-growing Palo Alto-based team on a mission to accelerate drug discovery through AI.All potential candidates should read through the following details of this job with care before making an application.The Role
You don't need an AI background — you need deep scientific expertise. In this role, you'll use your research experience in biology, biochemistry, or chemistry to help fine-tune large language models (like ChatGPT) built for drug discovery. Your ability to spot flawed controls, ambiguous steps, and unrealistic protocols is exactly what teaches AI to reason like a real scientist.
What You'll Do
Review, curate, and validate experimental protocols across domains including CRISPR/Genome Editing, Molecular Biology, Sequencing/Genomics, RNA/Protein Analysis, Single-Cell Profiling, and Cell Engineering/Screening
Provide expert scientific feedback to AI researchers from leading labs, shaping how AI models interpret experimental design, controls, and validation in real-world drug discovery workflows
What We're Looking For
PhD in Biology, Biochemistry, Chemistry, Chemical Biology, Molecular Biology, Bioengineering, or a related life sciences or physical sciences field (postdocs, biopharma scientists, and industry researchers welcome)
3+ years of active, hands-on experimental research experience
Deep expertise across multiple protocol categories xywuqvp listed above
