Remote Educational Neuroscience Jobs (NOW HIRING)

Job Summary:
YO IT Consulting is a fast-growing AI Data Services company delivering training data for many of the world’s largest AI companies. They are seeking a Neuroscience Quality Assurance Lead to oversee quality, consistency, and trainer performance across neuroscience and cognitive science AI training projects, ensuring that scientific training data is accurate and aligned with client expectations.
Responsibilities:
• Quality monitoring: Spot-check neuroscience/cognitive science items, identify quality issues, provide ongoing feedback through DMs, and escalate recurring or critical issues.
• Scientific review: Evaluate AI-generated neuroscience/cognitive science explanations, research summaries, experimental interpretations, brain-behavior claims, cognitive theory applications, and step-by-step reasoning for accuracy and clarity.
• Trainer and QA communication: Update trainers and QAs on Discord about new item guidelines, project changes, workflow updates, quality expectations, and neuroscience/cognitive-science-specific review standards.
• Question handling: Respond to trainer/QA questions clearly and promptly, especially around neural mechanisms, cognition, experimental design, statistical interpretation, ethical boundaries, clinical caution, and rubric interpretation.
• Trainer/QA activation management: DM contributors who are inactive or not working, encourage activation, track follow-ups, and flag availability issues when needed.
• Documentation: Create and maintain neuroscience/cognitive science project documentation, including style guides, trackers, FAQs, quality notes, examples, honeypots, calibration tasks, and onboarding materials.
• Onboarding and training: Schedule and run onboarding/training calls with trainers and QAs to explain project expectations, workflows, rubrics, quality standards, and neuroscience/cognitive-science-specific review requirements.
• Quality alignment: Ensure all trainers and QAs apply neuroscience/cognitive science review guidelines consistently and understand updates as projects evolve.
• Safety and ethics review: Flag pseudoscientific, overconfident, clinically misleading, ethically problematic, or unsupported claims about the brain, cognition, behavior, or mental health.
• Process improvement: Identify recurring quality gaps, propose workflow improvements, and help build scalable QA processes for neuroscience/cognitive science AI training projects.
Qualifications:
Required:
• Bachelor’s, Master’s, PhD, MD/PhD, or equivalent professional background in Neuroscience, Cognitive Science, Psychology, Neurobiology, Cognitive Psychology, Computational Neuroscience, Neurology-adjacent research, Biology, Biomedical Sciences, or a closely related field.
• Strong grasp of the English language to follow project guidelines, communicate with teams, and provide clear written feedback.
• 3+ years of experience in neuroscience/cognitive science research, teaching, laboratory work, academic review, science communication, experimental design, data analysis, or related scientific workflows.
• Strong understanding of neural systems, cognition, perception, attention, memory, learning, language, decision-making, neuroanatomy, neural signaling, research methods, and brain-behavior relationships.
• Ability to evaluate neuroscience/cognitive science content against detailed rubrics and identify issues such as neuromyths, overclaiming, unsupported causal conclusions, flawed study interpretation, incorrect terminology, pseudoscience, or misleading clinical implications.
• Comfortable working in fast-moving remote environments using tools such as Discord, Google Sheets, Google Docs, trackers, dashboards, and project management systems.
• Highly detail-oriented and organized, with the ability to maintain style guides, FAQs, trackers, onboarding materials, calibration tasks, and documentation.
Preferred:
• Familiarity with tools or methods such as EEG, fMRI, behavioral experiments, computational modeling, neuropsychological assessment, statistics, Python/R/MATLAB, cognitive tasks, or literature review.
• Experience leading or supporting remote teams of researchers, reviewers, educators, annotators, science writers, or QAs.
• Experience with AI training, data annotation, LLM evaluation, scientific QA, academic review, psychology/neuroscience content review, or rubric-based review.
