Master’s or PhD in biology
(or a related field), or are an
Olympiad participant or medalist
in the IBO (preferred) or equivalent competitions (RBO, CBO, IBO TST, ABO, EUBO, USABO, BBO, INBO, JBO, UBC, IBO Challenge, NSBO, etc.)
Other qualifications :
Deep understanding of your domain’s
core theoretical and experimental concepts
Ability to
articulate reasoning and derivations
clearly in written form - Strong ability to evaluate the rigor and complexity of biology problems - Rigorous attention to detail in verifying solutions ##
4\. More About the Opportunity
Expected commitment : 20 hours / week minimum; up to 40 hours / week available - Approximate project length : ~2 months, with extension potential - Rolling start dates; setup typically within 1–2 days of approval ##
5\. Compensation & Contract Terms
$60-80 / hr dependent on experience + performance - Open to contributors worldwide (English proficiency required) - Independent contractor engagement - Payments issued weekly via Stripe Connect ##
6\. Application Process
Submit your resume or CV highlighting biology background and relevant achievements - Complete a brief interview (20–30 minutes) - Submit a short form detailing your experience writing problems and competing in biology competitions - Selected applicants will be contacted within a few days with next steps ##
