Biology Expert

Join to apply for the Biology Expert role at Handshake.

Overview

Handshake is recruiting exceptional masters students, candidates, and graduates in Biology to join our AI research community. This program brings subject‑matter experts together to enhance the capabilities of Large Language Models (LLMs) within specialized domains and subdomains. The Handshake AI Fellowship program runs year‑round, though project availability will vary by domain.

Details

• The position is remote and asynchronous – work independently from wherever you are.
• Flexible hours with a commitment of approximately 10 to 20 hours per week.
• Project work includes, but is not limited to, developing domain‑specific prompts and evaluating LLM responses.
• Dedicate time researching topics that are interesting to you, with the assistance of AI.
• Learn new skills while contributing to the changing world of AI across various disciplines.
• Placement into a project will be dependent on project availability.

Qualifications

• Masters students and graduates in Biology.
• Able to participate in primarily asynchronous work in partnership with leading AI labs.
• Believe your expertise can outmatch current AI systems in understanding and explaining key concepts in your field.

Selection for each project is limited to a small cohort chosen for their disciplinary and research expertise. We are seeking experts in new research areas to test the limits of the world's top LLMs' scientific and language understanding by completing tasks that impact the next frontier AI model.

This program is open to U.S.-based doctoral students, candidates, and recent graduates with valid work or training authorization (e.g., F‑1/OPT, J‑1, H‑1B). Participants are responsible for ensuring compliance with their visa conditions and confirming eligibility with their program or visa sponsor prior to applying.

• At this time, we are unable to accommodate candidates on STEM OPT who require an i‑983. Fellows with already approved i‑983s, as well as those on pre‑grad OPT, CPT, J‑1, or H‑1B, are not impacted. This position may be subject to change in the future.
