Responsibilities
Review biology and biophysics research papers for scientific rigor, novelty, validity, and methodological quality
Assess experimental design, mechanistic arguments, analytical methods, quantitative results, and biological interpretation
Evaluate whether scientific claims are supported by evidence, established principles, and relevant literature
Identify subtle conceptual, experimental, statistical, or methodological issues requiring researcher-level expertise
Author and review challenging biology and biophysics problems for advanced scientific reasoning and evaluation workflows
Develop tasks involving mechanism prediction, experimental design, data interpretation, structural analysis, and literature reasoning
Calibrate problem difficulty, expected solutions, and evaluation criteria against graduate and research-level standards
Produce clear reference explanations, solution pathways, and technical assessment guidance
Evaluate technical outputs across molecular biology, biophysics, structural biology, immunology, neuroscience, genomics, and related fields
Identify unsupported assumptions, flawed mechanisms, experimental inconsistencies, and biologically implausible conclusions
Assess outputs involving literature synthesis, experimental proposals, quantitative analysis, and complex scientific reasoning
Document evaluation decisions clearly and support conclusions with rigorous scientific evidence
Qualification
Required
Current or recent experience as a PhD candidate, postdoctoral researcher, instructor, faculty member, principal scientist, or industry researcher

Competitive research fellowships, early-career awards, or major academic distinctions
Experience holding research grants as a Principal Investigator or Co-Investigator
Issued patents, scientific commercialisation experience, or involvement in a research spin-out
Experience with microscopy, structural methods, sequencing, computational biology, molecular modelling, or quantitative data analysis
Familiarity with experimental reproducibility, statistical interpretation, and research methodology review
Previous experience reviewing manuscripts, grant proposals, technical assessments, or advanced scientific benchmarks
Benefits
Part-time W-2 contingent employment arrangement
Fully remote with flexible scheduling
Competitive rates between $75–$105 per hour depending on research seniority, credentials, and project scope
Compensation and engagement details will reflect the selected professional's research background and qualifications
