AI Trainer (Life Sciences)
micro1
Verified listingOverview
micro1 is seeking computational life scientists to improve advanced AI systems. You will create technical tasks, evaluate AI-generated code and analyses, and identify scientific and methodological errors to establish standards for correct solutions.
What You’ll Do
- Create realistic computational life-science tasks that challenge advanced AI models
- Develop task instructions, reproducible environments, reference solutions, and evaluation criteria
- Evaluate model-generated code, analyses, models, experiments, and technical deliverables
- Identify invalid biological assumptions, methodological errors, data leakage, statistical issues, or reproducibility failures
Requirements
- Prior paid experience training, evaluating, benchmarking, or improving AI systems on scientific or technical tasks
- Strong practical proficiency with Python
- Deep expertise in at least one relevant life-science specialization (biology, computational biology, bioinformatics, medicine, neuroscience, genomics, ecology, evolution)
- Hands-on experience using computational methods for modeling, simulation, bioinformatics, biomedical analysis, statistics, or reproducible research
Who Should Apply
This role suits researchers or computational scientists with published work or open-source contributions in life sciences who have already done AI-training or evaluation work and enjoy rigorous technical problem-setting. It will frustrate those who prefer traditional employment structures, fixed schedules, or guaranteed income — this is task-based gig work where compensation depends on output quality and task availability.
Salary Insight
The $60–$120/hour range is wide because it reflects output-based pay tied to task acceptance and quality; your effective rate depends on how quickly and reliably you complete tasks. For context, this is competitive for specialized contract work, but note that compensation is tied to deliverables, not hours logged, so slower task completion or rejection reduces effective hourly earnings.

Application Tip
Bring proof of both skills and integrity: lead with your most relevant AI-training experience (even if unpaid initially) and link directly to public evidence — a peer-reviewed paper involving computational methods, open code you've written, or a public research profile beats generic claims. The "public proof of skill" section is not optional; they will screen for it, and strong applicants stand out by providing it upfront rather than waiting to be asked. The technical interview will probe whether you can actually spot scientific errors and methodological flaws, not just whether you know Python.
