Micro1 is engaging microbiologists to contribute their scientific expertise to a unique customer project. In this role, you'll apply your expertise to help train next-generation AI systems. Your work will shape how models learn, reason, and perform through high-quality, real-world input. No prior experience in AI is required — your domain knowledge is what matters.

Key Responsibilities:

• Investigate and analyze the development, morphology, and behavior of microscopic organisms including bacteria, fungi, and algae.
• Contribute to the study of the relationship between microorganisms and disease, supporting projects involving medical microbiology.
• Assess the impact of antibiotics and other agents on microbial populations, providing insights for AI model accuracy.
• Document experimental findings and processes with a focus on clarity for AI training data.
• Collaborate with interdisciplinary teams to ensure scientific rigor and data integrity in AI development.
• Provide written and verbal expertise on microbiological phenomena and their relevance to real-world and computational contexts.
• Utilize rubrics and established evaluation criteria to assess data quality and support AI training workflows.

Required Skills and Qualifications:

• Bachelor's degree or higher in Biology, Microbiology, Chemistry, or a related field.
• Extensive knowledge of bacterial, fungal, and algal systems.
• Demonstrated expertise in investigating microbial structure and physiology.
• Strong written and verbal communication skills for technical and interdisciplinary collaboration.
• Ability to document processes and findings clearly for integration into AI systems.
• Comfort working independently in a fully remote, digital-first environment.
• Attention to detail and commitment to scientific accuracy.

Preferred Qualifications:

• Prior experience developing or applying rubrics in scientific or educational contexts.
• Experience with AI, machine learning, or annotation projects related to biology or microbiology.
• Advanced degree (Master's or PhD) in a relevant field.
