Description

  • Design and review DNA and RNA constructs, including primers, plasmids, expression vectors, CRISPR guide RNAs, mRNA constructs, and HDR or repair templates.
  • Create challenging, scientifically accurate molecular biology design tasks and develop detailed reference solutions.
  • Evaluate AI-generated molecular biology solutions for scientific accuracy, experimental feasibility, and biological reasoning.
  • Provide structured written feedback to improve AI performance in nucleic acid sequence design and molecular biology workflows.
  • Justify sequence-level design decisions such as guide RNA selection, target specificity, homology arm design, primer Tm optimization, codon optimization, and regulatory element selection.
  • Apply cloning expertise in Gibson Assembly, Golden Gate Assembly, Gateway Cloning, and restriction enzyme-based cloning.
  • Collaborate with fellow subject matter experts to ensure consistency, quality, and scientific rigor across AI training datasets.

Requirements

  • Hands-on experience designing nucleic acid constructs for molecular biology experiments, including primers, plasmids, expression vectors, CRISPR gRNA/sgRNA, mRNA or RNA constructs, and HDR or repair templates.
  • Strong understanding of cloning methodologies, including Gibson Assembly, Golden Gate Assembly, Gateway Cloning, and traditional restriction cloning.
  • Experience with codon optimization, vector design, and sequence engineering.
  • Advanced degree in Molecular Biology, Genetics, Biochemistry, Synthetic Biology, Bioengineering, or a related life sciences discipline; PhD is strongly preferred.
  • Strong peer-reviewed publication record, with first-author publications in leading scientific journals highly desirable.
  • Excellent written communication skills with the ability to clearly explain molecular biology design decisions and scientific reasoning.
  • Ability to work independently while maintaining exceptional scientific accuracy and attention to detail.
  • Research experience in genome editing, synthetic biology, functional genomics, or gene therapy is preferred.
  • Publications in high-impact journals such as Nature, Cell, eLife, Nucleic Acids Research, PNAS, or EMBO Journal are preferred.
  • Experience mentoring researchers or reviewing scientific work is preferred.

Benefits

  • Compensation of $70-$105 per hour.
  • Fully remote work with flexible scheduling.
  • Part-time to full-time engagement of up to 40 hours per week.
  • Opportunity to contribute to an initial cohort focused on designing and evaluating molecular biology tasks.
  • Potential for extended engagement as project needs evolve for high-performing contributors.
