Overview
Handshake is recruiting exceptional doctoral 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) across specialized domains such as Molecular & Cellular Biology, Anatomy & Physiology, Plant & Fungal Biology, Invertebrate & Insect Biology, and Ecological & Environmental Biology. The Handshake AI Fellowship program runs year-round, though project availability will vary by domain.
Details
This is a fully remote, asynchronous position - work independently from anywhere, on your own schedule.
Learn new skills while contributing to the changing world of AI across various disciplines.
Get paid competitively to apply your domain expertise in biology.
Project work includes designing and solving advanced biology problems that require multi-step reasoning, and testing them with AI models to ensure they are appropriately challenging.
Qualifications
PhD students, postdocs, or recent PhDs in biology, with research experience in areas including but not limited to:
Molecular & Cellular Biology: genetics/molecular biology, microbiology, pathology
Anatomy & Physiology: anatomy/histology, zoology
Plant & Fungal Biology: botany, mycology
Invertebrate & Insect Biology: entomology, marine biology
Ecological & Environmental Biology: ecology
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.
