Neuroscience Quality Assurance Lead (QAL)

What you'll do

You review AI-generated neuroscience and cognitive science content for scientific accuracy, research literacy and statistical caution, and you flag neuromyths, overclaiming, unsupported causal conclusions and clinically misleading claims about the brain, cognition and mental health. You also answer trainer questions on neural mechanisms and experimental design, post Discord updates, keep documentation and calibration tasks, and run onboarding calls. The ad describes the selection as an AI interview, a domain-specific task and a recruiter interview.

Who fits

• A bachelor's, master's, PhD or MD/PhD (or equivalent professional background) in neuroscience, cognitive science, psychology, neurobiology, biology, biomedical sciences or a close field
• 3+ years in neuroscience or cognitive science research, teaching, lab work, academic review, science communication or data analysis
• Strong grasp of neural systems, cognition, perception, memory, learning and research methods
• Strong English for clear written feedback

Familiarity with EEG, fMRI, behavioral experiments, statistics or Python, R or MATLAB is preferred, and leading remote teams is strongly preferred.

What it pays

The ad says up to $90 an hour. It is a ceiling and the ad does not state a typical rate. Payment terms and the hiring process are covered on the company page.

Worth knowing

Good:

• A strong ceiling
• Ethics and science-quality review is an explicit part of the job
• Remote and hourly

Less good:

• The ad says there is no immediate project for this role; qualified applicants are put first in line when a matching project opens, so applying may not lead to work right away
• Open only to applicants in the United States
• Hours and team size are not published
