AI Tutor, Biology Specialist (contract), Handshake AI

Handshake Handshake · Enterprise · Remote · AI Trainer

The role focuses on evaluating and stress-testing complex scientific prompts for large language models, specifically in biology. The specialist will design high-difficulty prompts, identify reasoning errors and weaknesses in model outputs, and apply adversarial prompting techniques. This is a research-oriented role focused on improving AI model capabilities through expert evaluation.

What you'd actually do

  1. Design and evaluate high-difficulty biology prompts that probe the limits of AI models
  2. Identify reasoning errors, weaknesses, and failure modes in model outputs
  3. Apply adversarial prompting techniques to surface gaps in model understanding
  4. Provide expert-level feedback on model responses across molecular biology, genetics, cell biology, and related subfields
  5. Collaborate with project leads to maintain high quality and consistency standards
