PhD Scientist / Postdoctoral Researcher, Genomics (Independent Contractor)

Labela connects PhD-level scientists with frontier AI research. We are sourcing genomics researchers with hands-on gene editing experience to evaluate AI-generated scientific outputs as part of an ongoing benchmarking initiative with leading AI labs.

This is a flexible, remote engagement designed to fit around your existing research schedule.

What You'll Do

  • Review AI-generated responses to genomics and gene editing scenarios and score them using structured rubrics. Tasks include evaluating experimental design, CRISPR methodology, sequencing analysis, cell culture protocols, and biological pathway reasoning.
  • You assess the quality of scientific reasoning. We handle platform, payments, and project logistics.

Reasons to use Rodeo

I’m in my final year doing Economics and I don’t know whether to apply for grad schemes now or do a masters first. What do you think?

Honest answer — it depends on where you want to end up. A lot of top grad schemes (Big 4, civil service, banking) don’t need a masters. Let’s look at the ones you’d be competitive for now, and we can decide if a masters actually adds anything.

Also worth knowing: most autumn 2026 applications are open now. Timing matters more than you think.

Start with a chat, not a search bar

Grad scheme, placement, apprenticeship? Not sure what you want yet — that's fine. Your agent talks it through with you and turns "I have no idea" into a shortlist.
