We are sharing a specialised part-time consulting opportunity for PhD-level professionals experienced in biology, microbiology, virology, immunology, molecular biology, research literature review, and structured scientific evaluation.

This role supports current and upcoming remote consulting opportunities focused on biological feasibility review, pathogen biology analysis, laboratory protocol interpretation, molecular biology workflow assessment, primary literature evaluation, and high-quality project execution. Selected professionals will apply their advanced biological science expertise to review complex scientific materials, assess biological reasoning, prepare structured written outputs, and support accurate, evidence-based scientific review workflows.

Key Responsibilities

Professionals in this role may contribute to:

Biological Feasibility & Scientific Review

• Review biology-focused scenarios involving pathogen biology, biological mechanisms, experimental assumptions, and scientific feasibility
• Evaluate scientific outputs against established biological principles, source materials, research context, and documented review criteria
• Support structured review of materials involving microbiology, virology, immunology, molecular biology, and related biological subdomains
• Identify unsupported assumptions, scientific gaps, unclear reasoning, and expected biological review outcomes

Laboratory Protocol & Molecular Biology Assessment

• Review scientific materials involving laboratory protocols, experimental workflows, molecular biology techniques, and research methods
• Evaluate protocol-related content involving cloning, PCR, cell culture, assay design, or related laboratory methods
• Assess whether scientific reasoning and procedural descriptions align with realistic research practice and source documentation
• Prepare clear written explanations for biological and methodological conclusions based on verifiable criteria

Primary Literature & Biosecurity-Adjacent Research Review

• Interpret primary research literature in biology, microbiology, virology, immunology, and related fields
• Review scientific claims, experimental designs, biological relevance, and methodological soundness
• Support structured evaluation of research summaries, literature-based reasoning, and technical scientific outputs
• Maintain accuracy, consistency, and professional judgment across submitted work

Ideal Profile

Strong candidates may have:

• PhD in biology, microbiology, virology, immunology, molecular biology, biomedical sciences, or a closely related field
• Strong understanding of biological feasibility, pathogen biology, laboratory protocols, and molecular biology techniques
• Familiarity with methods such as cloning, PCR, cell culture, assay workflows, or related biological research techniques
• Experience interpreting primary research literature in relevant biological or biosecurity-adjacent areas
• Strong analytical thinking and written communication skills
• Ability to translate complex biological concepts into clear, structured scientific review outputs

Educational Background

• PhD in biology, microbiology, virology, immunology, molecular biology, biomedical sciences, or a closely related field is strongly preferred
• Publication record, postdoctoral research, academic research, industry research, or applied laboratory experience is highly relevant
• U.S. person status and current location in a Five Eyes country may be relevant depending on project requirements

Nice to Have

• Publication record in microbiology, virology, immunology, molecular biology, infectious disease biology, biosecurity-adjacent research, or related scientific subdomains
• Experience preparing or reviewing scientific protocols, experimental summaries, research manuscripts, literature reviews, technical reports, or biological risk assessments
• Familiarity with pathogen biology, host-pathogen interactions, immune response, molecular assays, or laboratory quality standards
• Background in academic research, biotech, pharmaceutical research, public health research, government research, or national laboratory environments
• Strong attention to detail in research-heavy, technically complex, and documentation-based scientific workflows

Why This Opportunity

• Apply PhD-level biological science expertise to structured remote project work
• Contribute to high-quality biological feasibility review, scientific reasoning assessment, and literature-based evaluation
• Work on flexible assignments aligned with your biology, microbiology, virology, or immunology background
• Use your scientific judgment in a focused, rigorous review environment
• Remote structure with competitive hourly compensation

Contract Details

• Independent contractor role
• Fully remote with flexible scheduling
• Part-time commitment depending on project availability
• Competitive rates between $115–$135 per hour depending on expertise
• Weekly payments via Stripe or Wise
• Projects may be extended, shortened, or adjusted depending on scope and performance
• Work will not involve access to confidential or proprietary information from any employer, client, or institution
