Drug Discovery Scientist: AI Research Challenge Designer

Mercor

Mercor is seeking a science-focused role to design evaluation challenges for frontier AI models in drug research. You will build data rooms grounded in real sources and write graders to assess reasoning quality, with 20–40 hours weekly commitment. Tools include Claude Code and Claude Max, in-browser studio work. The role requires deep expertise in mechanistic enzymology or related areas, and the ability to defend non-obvious conclusions. #J-18808-Ljbffr Mercor
