To thrive as a Remote Biology Research Assistant, you need a solid grasp of biological concepts, strong analytical skills, and typically a bachelor's degree in biology or a related field. Familiarity with data analysis tools such as R or Python, remote collaboration platforms, and research databases is commonly required. Attention to detail, effective written communication, and self-motivation are standout soft skills for remote research work. These skills and qualities are crucial for ensuring accurate data handling, productive team collaboration, and successful execution of research projects in a remote setting.

What are Remote Biology Research Assistants?

Remote Biology Research Assistants are professionals who support biological research projects from a remote location, often working from home or outside traditional laboratory settings. Their tasks may include data analysis, literature reviews, managing databases, preparing reports, and collaborating with research teams virtually. This role allows research institutions and universities to access a wider talent pool while enabling assistants to contribute to scientific studies without being physically present in a lab. Remote assistants utilize digital tools and communication platforms to coordinate their work and share findings with their teams.

Job description

This role is for one of our clients
Compensation: $80 - $110 per hour
Join a leading AI research initiative developing the next generation of AI systems for scientific reasoning. We are seeking accomplished Biology & Biophysics Research Collaborators to help advance AI models capable of reasoning across complex life science disciplines at the level of active researchers-not textbooks.
This opportunity is ideal for researchers with expertise in molecular biology, biophysics, structural biology, immunology, neuroscience, genomics, and related life science disciplines. Your research experience will directly contribute to improving AI systems that solve advanced scientific problems through rigorous biological reasoning.
This is a remote, part-time engagement requiring up to 20 hours per week.

  • Assess AI-generated solutions involving:
    • Biological mechanism prediction
    • Experimental design
    • Scientific literature interpretation
    • Research methodology and scientific reasoning
  • Identify reasoning errors and scientific gaps that experienced life science researchers would readily recognize.
  • Provide detailed, evidence-based written feedback to improve AI model performance.
  • Collaborate with fellow researchers and project teams to ensure consistency and quality across evaluation tasks.

Required Qualifications
We're seeking researchers who demonstrate several of the following:
  • First-author or co-first-author publications in leading journals such as:
    • Nature

    • The New England Journal of Medicine (NEJM)
    • Nature Methods
    • Nature Medicine
    • Nature Biotechnology
    • Nature Communications
  • PhD or postdoctoral training from a globally recognized institution in the life sciences or a related STEM discipline.
  • Recipient of prestigious fellowships or research awards such as:
    • HHMI Fellowships (including EXROP, Hanna H. Gray, or Investigator)
    • NIH F31, F32, or K99 Fellowships
    • NSF Graduate Research Fellowship or Postdoctoral Research Fellowship
    • Damon Runyon Fellowship
    • Helen Hay Whitney Fellowship
    • Jane Coffin Childs Fellowship
    • Searle Scholars Program
    • Pew Scholars Program
    • Sloan Research Fellowship
    • Packard Fellowship
    • Simons Fellowship
    • Fulbright Scholarship
    • Or equivalent internationally recognized research awards
  • Named inventor on patents, founder of a research spin-out, or Principal Investigator/Co-Investigator on funded research grants.
  • Current or recent experience in an active research role, including:
    • PhD Candidate
    • Postdoctoral Researcher
    • Faculty Member
    • Instructor
    • Principal Scientist
    • Industry Researcher
  • Outstanding senior PhD students and recent graduates with exceptional publication records are strongly encouraged to apply. Demonstrated research excellence is valued more than years of professional experience.

Engagement Details
  • Schedule: Part-time (up to 20 hours per week)
  • Work Arrangement: Fully Remote
  • Compensation: Competitive and based on research experience, publication record, and academic credentials.
  • Duration: Ongoing, subject to project requirements and performance.

Why Join?
