Biology Quality Assurance Lead (QAL)

About this role

In this hourly, remote contractor role, you will work as a Biology Quality Assurance Lead (QAL) to oversee quality, consistency, and trainer performance across biology AI training projects. You will review AI-generated biology content and trainer/QA work, evaluate output quality against project guidelines, provide precise written feedback, and ensure that all contributors follow the expected quality standards.

Biology, Genetics, Molecular Biology

Responsibilities

• Quality monitoring: Spot-check biology items, identify quality issues, provide ongoing feedback through DMs, and escalate recurring or critical issues.
• Scientific review: Evaluate AI-generated biology explanations, biological mechanisms, experimental reasoning, genetics problems, diagrams/descriptions, terminology, and problem-solving steps for correctness and clarity.
• Trainer and QA communication: Update trainers and QAs on Discord about new item guidelines, project changes, workflow updates, quality expectations, and biology-specific review standards.
• Question handling: Respond to trainer/QA questions clearly and promptly, especially around biological reasoning, terminology, experimental design, and methods.
• Trainer/QA activation management: DM contributors who are inactive or not working, encourage activation, track follow-ups, and flag availability issues when needed.

Qualifications

• Bachelor's, Master's, or PhD degree in Biology, Molecular Biology, Cell Biology, Genetics, Microbiology, Biochemistry, Ecology, Evolutionary Biology, Neuroscience, Physiology, or a closely related field.
• Strong grasp of the English language to follow project guidelines, communicate with teams, and provide clear scientific feedback in English.
• 3+ years of professional experience in biology research, laboratory work, teaching, scientific writing, technical review, quality control, biotechnology, life sciences, or related workflows.
• Strong understanding of core biology topics such as cell biology, molecular biology, genetics, evolution, ecology, physiology, microbiology, biochemistry, immunology, anatomy, developmental biology, and experimental design.
• Ability to evaluate biology content against detailed rubrics and identify issues such as incorrect assumptions, flawed experimental reasoning, inaccurate terminology, missing context, or unsafe recommendations.
