About this Role
Job Summary
Join our customer's innovative team as a Molecular & Cellular Biology Research Scientist, where you will drive cutting-edge discovery by evaluating mechanisms of action, genetic models, pathway biology, and omics data. Utilize your expertise to enhance scientific rigor, support AI model training, and advance impactful biomedical research – all from the flexibility of a remote setting.
Key Responsibilities
Review and critique molecular and cellular biology experiments, including assay design, controls, and reproducibility strategies. Analyze pathway biology, biomarker strategies, gene function, and validation studies for robust mechanistic insights. Assess omics datasets (genomics, transcriptomics, proteomics) and advanced imaging data for scientific accuracy and interpretation. Evaluate the application of genetic and knockout/CRISPR models in addressing research questions. Design, interpret, and document experimental approaches to inform research best practices. Provide structured scientific feedback and evaluations to support AI model training and research quality assurance. Communicate complex findings clearly and effectively with team members through strong written and verbal skills.
Required Skills and Qualifications
PhD in Molecular Biology, Cell Biology, Genetics, Biomedical Sciences, or related discipline; or MS/BS with 8+ years of relevant hands-on research experience. Minimum 3 years of laboratory research in academic or industry settings (biotech/pharma preferred). Expertise in experimental design, wet-lab methodology, and literature analysis. Deep understanding of genetic modeling, omics interpretation, and pathway analysis. Proven ability to critically evaluate scientific data and experimental outcomes. Exceptional written and verbal communication skills, ensuring clarity in scientific reporting and collaboration.
Preferred Qualifications
Experience evaluating data for AI-enabled or computational biology research. Background in functional genomics, biomarker discovery, or high-throughput screening. Demonstrated ability to synthesize scientific findings into actionable insights for interdisciplinary teams.
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.
