About this Role
Job Summary
Join our customer's team as an expert Cell Biologist, where your insights into Experimental Systems and cellular mechanisms will help power cutting-edge AI training. You will leverage your expertise in mammalian cell culture, transfection methods, and clonal isolation to drive meaningful breakthroughs in understanding experimental variability and biological systems.
Key Responsibilities
Design and execute experiments using mammalian cell culture and transfection techniques. Isolate and establish clonal cell lines and monitor cellular phenotypes. Study the structure, organization, and function of cells and organelles. Assess and document sources of experimental variability across different model systems. Develop and optimize experimental protocols for reproducibility and scalability. Collaborate closely with AI training teams to translate biological insights into high-quality datasets. Communicate scientific findings clearly through well-structured written and verbal reports.
Required Skills and Qualifications
Bachelor’s degree or higher in Biology, Cell Biology, or a related scientific discipline. Minimum 1 year of hands-on laboratory experience with mammalian cell culture. Proficiency in transfection methods and clonal isolation techniques. Expert understanding of experimental systems and variability across biological models. Strong written and verbal communication skills, with an emphasis on clarity and detail. High level of organizational and critical thinking abilities. Ability to work independently and remotely with a cross-functional team.
Preferred Qualifications
Experience with rubcris or similar gene editing platforms. Previous involvement with projects for AI training or data labeling. Advanced degree (MS or PhD) in a relevant field.
Requirements
- Must be eligible to work in Remote
- Fluent proficiency in English (Written & Verbal)
- Reliable high-speed internet connection
- Bachelor's degree or equivalent professional experience
- Demonstrated expertise in STEM

Frequently Asked Questions
How is this different from the others?
Global Access. Micro1 is more open to international applicants (outside the US/UK) than DataAnnotation or Outlier.
What is the catch?
Privacy. Micro1 projects often require you to install time-tracking software that takes screenshots of your desktop while you work to ensure you are actually working. If you are uncomfortable with monitoring software, this might not be for you.
Is this just labeling data?
No. This is closer to academic research. You will likely be writing or verifying complex proofs, solving advanced equations, or checking the logic of a model's step-by-step reasoning. The goal is to teach AI systems to reason deeply in your field.
Do I need a PhD?
For the highest pay tiers in this category, a PhD (or current enrollment) is usually expected. However, the most important factor is your ability to pass the domain assessment. If you can solve the problems, the degree is secondary.
Is the work continuous?
Work in niche fields is often project-based. A specific "campaign" (e.g., training a model on Quantum Mechanics) might last for a few weeks. It is best to treat this as a high-paying fellowship or grant rather than a permanent daily job.
What is the interview like?
You will likely be screened by "Zara", an AI recruiter. Treat this like a real video interview—speak clearly, ensure you have good lighting, and be ready to answer technical questions verbally, as the transcript is reviewed by human managers.
