Workload: 10+ hrs/week
Location: Location not stated
Field: Sciences

Author realistic biomedical statistics problems and develop reference answers that expose subtle methodological errors in AI reasoning. This remote contractor role is fully asynchronous and requires at least 10 hours of availability each week.

The work

You will turn situations from statistical practice into realistic evaluation problems involving trial design, survival analysis, dose response, genetic studies or related biomedical analyses. Each problem needs a worked reference answer that explains the statistical reasoning, assumptions, diagnostics and practitioner-level errors an apparently plausible solution might contain.

Screening focus

The platform screens for at least three years of full-time work in a statistical role, hands-on work with clinical, epidemiological or genetic data, and the ability to defend methodological choices under follow-up. A Master's or PhD in biostatistics, statistics, epidemiology, statistical genetics or pharmacometrics is required. Comfort with R, SAS or Python is required for statistical analysis, and strong written English is required for clear explanations. Clinicians and wet lab scientists without a statistics role are not the intended candidates.

Practical details

This is a remote, independent contractor role with ongoing project work. Work is fully async, with no fixed hours, a minimum commitment of 10 hours per week and no maximum. You may scale your workload up or down from week to week. Payment is weekly through Stripe, and the platform states that it does not use screen recording, keystroke monitoring or idle timers.

Interview prep — 10 questions

Matched to what this platform's screening actually measures. Answer each out loud in 60–90 seconds: claim → concrete example → implication.

What it tests: This verifies that the required experience came from accountable statistical work rather than coursework, internships, clinical duties or wet lab responsibilities.
A strong answer: Give a concise chronology with employers or project settings, dates, data types and personal responsibility for analysis plans, models, validation or reporting. Distinguish your own decisions from work performed by a broader team.
Where people lose it: Candidates lose points by counting graduate research or internships toward the three-year threshold, or by describing a study without identifying the statistical work they personally completed.
