Compensation: $60-$80 per hour
We are partnering with leading AI labs on our Project - an initiative to build realistic enterprise environments where advanced AI agents are trained and evaluated. We are seeking experienced pharmaceutical research professionals from top pharma, biotech organizations, and leading academic research centers to recreate real-world digital workspaces and design complex tasks that reflect actual R&D workflows.
In this role, you will leverage your expertise across drug discovery, preclinical/translational research, clinical development, or regulatory/CMC to simulate high-fidelity pharma environments and contribute directly to shaping how next-generation AI systems operate in regulated research settings.
Requirements
What You’ll Do
- Build realistic digital workspaces that mirror day-to-day pharma R&D environments, including study protocols, investigator brochures, IND/NDA drafts, pharmacology reports, biomarker analyses, CMC documentation, and internal communications
- Design multi-step, workflow-driven tasks that require navigating multiple tools, datasets, and stakeholders
- Incorporate commonly used platforms (e.g., clinical trial systems, molecular modeling tools, electronic lab notebooks) into task environments
- Collaborate with peer experts to validate realism, rigor, and relevance of scenarios
- Work asynchronously with research teams to refine task structures and evaluation frameworks
- Contribute to benchmarking and improving AI systems used in pharmaceutical research

- 3+ years of full-time experience in a pharmaceutical, biotech, or leading academic research environment
- Expertise in one or more of the following areas:
- Drug discovery (medicinal chemistry, biology, HTS, DMPK)
- Preclinical / translational research (PK/PD, toxicology, biomarkers)
- Clinical development (Phase I–IV, biostatistics, clinical operations)
- Regulatory affairs (IND, NDA, BLA, EMA) or CMC
- Real-world evidence, HEOR, or pharmacovigilance
- Hands-on experience with industry-standard tools and platforms (e.g., clinical data systems, modeling software, lab management tools)
- Strong analytical thinking and ability to translate complex workflows into structured task designs
- Excellent written communication and attention to detail
Engagement Model
- Initial compensation based on hourly engagement
- Transition to performance-based compensation aligned with quality and throughput of contributions
- Fully remote, asynchronous work environment with flexible scheduling
Additional Information
- Independent contractor engagement

What you need to know about the Los Angeles Tech Scene
Los Angeles is a global leader in entertainment, so it’s no surprise that many of the biggest players in streaming, digital media and game development call the city home. But the city boasts plenty of non-entertainment innovation as well, with tech companies spanning verticals like AI, fintech, e-commerce and biotech. With major universities like Caltech, UCLA, USC and the nearby UC Irvine, the city has a steady supply of top-flight tech and engineering talent — not counting the graduates flocking to Los Angeles from across the world to enjoy its beaches, culture and year-round temperate climate.
Key Facts About Los Angeles Tech
- Number of Tech Workers: 375,800; 5.5% of overall workforce (2024 CompTIA survey)
- Major Tech Employers: Snap, Netflix, SpaceX, Disney, Google
- Key Industries: Artificial intelligence, adtech, media, software, game development
- Funding Landscape: $11.6 billion in venture capital funding in 2024 (Pitchbook)
- Notable Investors: Strong Ventures, Fifth Wall, Upfront Ventures, Mucker Capital, Kittyhawk Ventures
- Research Centers and Universities: California Institute of Technology, UCLA, University of Southern California, UC Irvine, Pepperdine, California Institute for Immunology and Immunotherapy, Center for Quantum Science and Engineering
