What this role involves

Life-sciences AI training role focused on designing and reviewing DNA/RNA sequences and constructs, including primers, plasmids, RNAs, repair templates, and related molecular-biology tasks. The live listing shows a United Kingdom location requirement and labels the role as a W2 contingent role.

Requirements

  • Practicing or recently practicing molecular biologist with hands-on experience designing nucleic-acid sequences before experiments.
  • Advanced degree in molecular biology, genetics, biochemistry, synthetic biology, bioengineering, or a related life-science field; PhD strongly preferred.
  • Strong publication record and clear written communication for writing and reviewing ground-truth solutions.

Best for

  • Molecular biologists in the United Kingdom
  • Synthetic biology, genetics, or biochemistry researchers
  • Life-science experts comfortable writing and reviewing ground-truth solutions

Skip this if...

  • You are not based in or eligible for the United Kingdom location requirement.
  • You do not have hands-on molecular biology sequence-design experience.
  • You are not comfortable with the listing's W2 contingent role language or current platform terms.
Application tips
  • Include publication links and concrete sequence-design examples if applying.
  • Be ready to explain sequence design choices clearly in writing.
  • Check the current Mercor page before applying because task pools, eligibility, and employment terms can change.
