Company: DataAnnotation Location: Remote (U.S.) Pay: From $40 per hour, with additional bonuses for high-quality and high-volume work Job Type: Full-time or Part-time, flexible schedule
Role Overview:
DataAnnotation is seeking a biology expert to help train AI models. You’ll present chatbots with complex biology problems, assess their responses, and guide improvements in logical accuracy and performance. Projects are fully remote with flexible hours—perfect for experienced biologists who value autonomy and high-impact work
Key Details:
Must hold expertise in biology—advanced degree (Master’s or PhD) preferred but not mandatory
Requires proficiency in biology, inductive/deductive reasoning, experimental design, and data interpretation
Ability to choose what projects to work on, set your own hours, and operate completely remotely
I did a stint with DataAnnotation; pay was legit around $40/hr, but hours swung a lot and QC could be nitpicky. Tasks were mostly scoring model answers to bio questions and writing clearer solutions — good as a flexible side gig, not something I’d count on for steady 40 hours or benefits. Would you be doing this alongside something else?
Did a similar DataAnnotation gig last year — work was legit but volume was lumpy and you’re a 1099, so $40/hr only happens when tasks are flowing and accepted. Decent as a side gig if you’re fine with repetitive prompt-writing/grading and occasional unpaid qualification tests, but I wouldn’t bank on it for full-time income. Anyone actually hitting the quality/volume bonuses consistently?
Did a couple months with DataAnnotation; mirroring their rubric in your feedback (quote the criterion and a one-line rationale) cut my QC dings to near zero. Best task flow for me was weekday mornings ET, which made it possible to hit ~$40/hr with the quality bonus.
