Biology Expert (SME)

Purpose

We are seeking a highly experienced Biology professional consultant to serve as a consultant on AI training data projects for leading AI model builders and enterprises. Your focus will be to define success criteria, review outputs, and provide targeted guidance to improve quality and speed — directly contributing to the successful delivery of domain-specific annotated datasets that meet the highest technical standards. You will be engaged on specific projects with clearly defined deliverables, milestones, and end dates.

Components

Technical Standard Setting, Quality Control, and Process Improvement

• Define domain-specific quality success metrics.
• Develop project-specific SOPs, QA rubrics, and reference materials for the specific purpose of meeting client technical standards.
• Review project outputs (annotations, classifications, metadata) against technical standards, flagging and correcting errors before client delivery.
• Perform structured QA passes on daily / weekly deliverables; flag, track, and resolve defects quickly to hit delivery deadlines.
• Return work to contractors with precise remediation notes.
• Provide advisory input on tools, workflows, and processes to meet quality benchmarks.
• Handle spec changes and edge-case scenarios — e.g., new nomenclature updates, ambiguous classifications, or evolving research standards — drafting acceptance criteria or workarounds.
• Curate example libraries of 'gold standard' annotated datasets for calibration and comparability to reference samples.
