Drug Discovery Scientist

Position: Drug Discovery Scientist

Type: Hourly Contract

Compensation: $60–$90/hour

Location: Remote

About the Prospect
This opportunity is for experienced Drug Discovery Scientists to contribute to an advanced AI research and evaluation project focused on pharmaceutical research and development.
You'll apply your scientific expertise to design realistic, evidence-driven drug discovery problems that require AI models to reason through incomplete, indirect, and potentially misleading scientific evidence. You'll create research prompts, build supporting data rooms using real source-grounded information, develop rigorous grading frameworks, and validate the resulting tasks.
The role is ideal for experts who can distinguish genuine scientific reasoning from pattern matching and confidently evaluate the quality of complex research conclusions.
Responsibilities
Design challenging, realistic drug discovery research problems based on authentic scientific workflows.




Develop research scenarios where the correct conclusion must be derived from multiple pieces of evidence rather than directly stated.
Build comprehensive data rooms using real, source-grounded scientific data and documentation.
Ensure every decisive scientific value and piece of evidence can be traced back to a reliable source.
Create detailed grading documents and evaluation rubrics that assess scientific reasoning and substantive conclusions.
Evaluate AI-generated research outputs for scientific accuracy, logical consistency, and defensibility.
Run verification and calibration processes to ensure tasks are reproducible, appropriately difficult, and objectively scorable.
Identify weaknesses in task design, evidence, or evaluation criteria and revise them accordingly.
Provide expert judgment on scientific questions, task difficulty, and the quality of AI reasoning.
Collaborate with project reviewers and other domain experts to refine research tasks.
