Scientific Image Annotation Specialist

Position : Part-Time Physician Annotator

Location : India (Remote / On-site)

Experience : PhD in Cell Biology / Molecular Biology or a related field

Language Proficiency : Strong English language skills (written and verbal)

Role Overview :

We are seeking a detail-oriented Scientific Image Annotator to support our cell biology research,

focusing on HCT-116 human colon cancer cell line viability and morphology analysis. The

successful candidate will be responsible for accurately labeling components in high-content

microscopy images to train machine learning models. The role requires adherence to stringent

quality standards and the ability to apply feedback in a timely manner.

Key Responsibilities :

1. Image Annotation : Precisely annotate microscopy images based on established cell

biology criteria.

2. Viability Assessment : Accurately label live cells (cell-permeant fluorescent dye precursor

markers) and dead cells (using markers for membrane compromise).

3. Artifact / Debris Identification : Isolate and label non-cellular elements, including air

bubbles, cell debris, and cellular aggregates.

4. Quality Assurance : Ensure high annotation consistency and adherence to predefined

labeling protocols specific to fluorescent microscopy techniques.

Requirements :

• Strong theoretical or practical background in Cell Biology and Fluorescence Microscopy.
• Familiarity with visual identification of cellular components, morphology, and artifacts

common in cell culture.
