This is hourly contract gig work rather than a salaried career track, so income depends on available task volume and could compress as AI data markets mature. It is best treated as flexible supplemental income, not a long-term salary trajectory.

Why this was classified this way

  • Contractor

Listing via Himalayas.

Eligibility, licensing, and location restrictions can change. Always confirm details on the source posting before applying.

Why this is worth applying to

Worth considering if you hold a PhD or are a doctoral candidate in a biology-adjacent field and want flexible, fully remote supplemental income. It is not a durable career move for clinicians without a research doctorate or those seeking benefits and progression.

Who should apply

MD-PhD or PhD-trained doctors, pharmacists, and healthcare graduates with strong molecular biology, biochemistry, neuroscience, or drug discovery backgrounds who want remote, part-time income and enjoy scientific writing and assessment design.

CV angle

Lead with your doctoral training and research credentials, then reframe real laboratory, experimental design, and publication experience as evidence of graduate-level subject mastery. Emphasize any teaching, exam-writing, peer review, or scientific writing you have done to show you can author precise, self-contained technical content.

Skills to highlight

  • Molecular biology and biochemistry expertise
  • Experimental design and data interpretation
  • Scientific writing and technical editing
  • Peer-reviewed literature synthesis
  • Assessment/question authoring and difficulty calibration
  • Attention to precision and clarity
  • Markdown documentation
  • Research publication track record

Role summary

A fully remote contract gig with Mercor in which PhD-level biology experts write original graduate-level biology questions, plausible answer options, and step-by-step Chain-of-Thought solutions to train AI research models, plus verify and flag issues in existing questions.
