๐ Job Overview
micro1 is looking for Life Sciences Research Assistants to contribute to a customer project focused on developing next-generation AI benchmarks.
In this role, professionals will apply their life sciences and research expertise to help train and evaluate next-generation AI systems. The work involves creating expert-level evaluation tasks using authentic research materials, technical challenges, realistic datasets, and rigorous evaluation rubrics.
No prior AI experience is required. Your scientific and research expertise is what matters.
The position is designed for professionals who understand scientific methodology, research protocols, data interpretation, and multi-source scientific workflows.
๐งช Scope of Work
1. ๐ฌ Develop Research Evaluation Tasks
Create complex and authentic evaluation tasks within the life sciences domain, including:
Experimental design critique
Protocol analysis
Primary data interpretation
Scientific reasoning
Multi-step research problems
Tasks should reflect advanced real-world scientific practice rather than simplified textbook examples.
2. ๐ Source & Synthesize Research Materials
Work with and synthesize different types of scientific materials, including:
Raw experimental data
Laboratory protocols
Technical literature
Supplementary research documents
Scientific datasets
The goal is to create realistic tasks that require meaningful scientific analysis.
3. ๐ง Define Methodological Approaches
For each evaluation task:
Define the appropriate methodological approach.
Document the correct scientific reasoning.
Explain the appropriate biological interpretation.
Ensure conclusions are supported by the available evidence.
4. ๐ Create Evaluation Rubrics
Develop comprehensive, multi-item rubrics for evaluating AI-generated responses.
Rubrics should assess areas such as:
Methodological rigor
Data interpretation
Source fidelity
Scientific reasoning
Protocol adherence
The evaluation criteria should be clear, objective, and appropriate for LLM-based assessment.
5. ๐งฌ Maintain Real-World Scientific Complexity
Tasks should reflect the:
Nuance of real scientific research
Ambiguity found in scientific workflows
Complexity of authentic datasets
Depth of professional scientific practice
The project specifically aims to avoid overly simplified or purely hypothetical scenarios.
6. ๐ค Collaborate With Project Coordinators
Work asynchronously with project coordinators.
Receive feedback on submitted tasks.
Refine deliverables based on project requirements.
Maintain consistent quality across assignments.
๐ Preferred Qualifications
Candidates should ideally have:
Bachelor's or Master's degree in:
Biology
Biomedical Sciences
Biochemistry
Or a closely related discipline
At least 2 years of hands-on research or laboratory experience.
Experience with primary data analysis.
Experience working with scientific protocols.
Expertise in protocol-driven, multi-source scientific workflows.
Strong scientific reasoning skills.
Experience with source synthesis and methodological evaluation.
Strong written English skills.
Experience drafting or reviewing scientific documentation.
Familiarity with:
CSV files
Spreadsheets
PDFs
Technical documents
Excellent attention to detail.
Commitment to rubric fidelity and objective task design.
