Key Responsibilities

Author original biology questions that test deep conceptual understanding, not surface‑level recall.

Ensure questions are unambiguous, self‑contained, and precisely defined — all necessary information must be in the problem statement.

Rate each question's difficulty: Medium (intro undergraduate), Hard (advanced undergraduate), or Expert (post‑graduate and above).

Provide 1 correct answer and 9 plausible but subtly incorrect alternatives that challenge expert‑level solvers.

Write step‑by‑step Chain‑of‑Thought solutions with clear, concise intermediate steps in markdown format.

Supply 1–5 academic references per question from reputable sources (peer‑reviewed journals, university repositories).

For verification tasks: flag issues with clarity, completeness, precision, or solvability and justify any edits made.

Ideal Qualifications

PhD or doctoral candidate in Biology, Molecular Biology, Biochemistry, Neuroscience, or a closely related field.

Master's degree considered for candidates with exceptional depth in a specific subdomain.

Strong command of graduate‑level biological concepts, experimental design, and data interpretation.

Research publications or laboratory experience in biological sciences is a strong plus.

Excellent written English and ability to express complex ideas clearly and concisely.

More About the Opportunity

Expected commitment: 10+ hours / week.

Asynchronous, fully remote work.
