Biology PhDs with published papers
$80-130 ? Estimated range. Actual pay varies by experience, location, and task type.
Biology experts are in high demand. These roles focus on genetics and heredity, cellular biology mechanisms, ecology and ecosystem dynamics, and bioinformatics. You will verify AI claims about DNA, proteins, evolution, and disease mechanisms. Requires deep knowledge of modern biology—Master's degree or PhD strongly preferred. Pay: $50-$110/hr.

Biology tasks ask you to evaluate AI understanding of life sciences—and to catch the subtle errors that make AI biology outputs unreliable without expert review. You'll check whether AI correctly explains cell signaling cascades, accurately describes CRISPR mechanisms, or properly distinguishes between convergent and divergent evolution. Genetics tasks are common: Mendelian inheritance problems, population genetics calculations, gene expression regulation. Neuroscience questions appear regularly, as do ecology and bioinformatics tasks (sequence alignment logic, phylogenetic tree interpretation). Tasks often cite primary research and ask whether the AI's interpretation matches the paper's actual findings. Research methodology knowledge—experimental design, controls, statistical significance—is frequently tested.
Master's or PhD in biology, molecular biology, genetics, or related field strongly preferred. Some roles accept Bachelor's + 5+ years lab/research experience. Higher degree = higher pay.
Lab experience is valuable but not always required. Theoretical knowledge (genetics, cell biology, ecology) alone can qualify you. Wet lab experience (hands-on molecular work) may unlock specialized higher-paying roles.
Genetics and molecular biology are highest-volume. Cell biology, evolution, and immunology also common. Environmental biology and microbiology see regular requests. Rarer specializations (biophysics, synthetic biology) command premium.
Master's: $60-80/hr. PhD: $80-110/hr. Specialized expertise (genetic counseling, cancer research) may reach $100-110+/hr. Rates vary by platform—Mercor and Micro1 typically pay highest.
