About Prolific

Prolific is not just another player in the AI space – we are building the biggest pool of quality human data in the world.

Over 35,000 AI developers, researchers, and organizations use Prolific to gather data from paid study participants with a wide variety of experiences, knowledge, and skills.

The role

We’re looking for Biology Experts and Life Science Professionals to join our Expert Network to help train and evaluate cutting-edge AI models using real scientific expertise. If you have the necessary experience, we’ll send you a quick 10- to 15-minute test to assess your skills and suitability for AI tasks. If successful, you’ll be invited to join Prolific as a participant, where you’ll get paid to train and evaluate powerful AI models.

Researchers looking for your skills tend to pay up to $60 per hour. You must be prepared to complete paid tasks that require one hour of uninterrupted work, though many are shorter.

What you’ll bring

• Education: a BS, MS, or PhD in Biology, Molecular Biology, Genetics, Bioinformatics, Pharmacology, or a related Life Sciences field.
• Professional Experience: years of experience in laboratory research, clinical trials, biotech, or academic instruction.
• Scientific Literacy: the ability to interpret complex biological data, peer-reviewed journals, and technical protocols with high precision.
• Critical Thinking: a sharp eye for identifying scientific "hallucinations," such as incorrect protein folding logic, misapplied genetic sequences, or flawed experimental designs.
• Methodological Knowledge: deep understanding of the scientific method, statistical significance in biological contexts, and regulatory standards.
• Communication: ability to explain intricate biological pathways or cellular mechanisms in clear, accurate technical prose.
• A PayPal account to receive payment from our clients

What you’ll be doing in the role

• Evaluate AI-Generated Science: review model responses to complex biological queries for factual accuracy, reasoning, and adherence to current scientific consensus.
• Fact-Check Technical Claims: validate citations from public databases (e.g., PubMed, NCBI) and ensure AI-generated summaries of research papers are accurate.
• Assess Experimental Logic: critique AI-proposed experimental designs, including controls, variables, and troubleshooting steps for lab procedures.
• Annotate Scientific Data: identify and correct errors in model-generated biological sequences, chemical structures, or taxonomy classifications.
• Ensure Ethical Alignment: verify that AI responses regarding bioethics and sensitive biological data comply with professional and safety standards.

Why Prolific is a great platform to join as a Participant

Joining our platform as a Prolific participant will give you the chance to influence the AI models of the future using your professional expertise. Once you pass our assessment, you can join Prolific in just 15 minutes, and start enjoying competitive pay rates, flexible hours, and the ability to work from home.

We've built a unique platform that connects researchers and companies with a global pool of participants, enabling the collection of high-quality, ethically sourced human behavioural data and feedback. This data is the cornerstone of developing more accurate, nuanced, and aligned AI systems.

We believe that the next leap in AI capabilities won't come solely from scaling existing models, but from integrating diverse human perspectives and behaviours into AI development. By providing this crucial human data infrastructure, Prolific is positioning itself at the forefront of the next wave of AI innovation – one that reflects the breadth and the best of humanity.
