Kolabtree
Freelance platform for scientists, researchers and academics offering consulting and research support.
Kolabtree is a niche marketplace where businesses and researchers hire freelance scientists, statisticians, medical writers and lab consultants. Projects range from literature reviews and grant writing to clinical trial design and data analysis.
How Kolabtree works for experts
Experts create a profile listing qualifications, publications and hourly or project rates. Clients post projects and invite matching experts to submit proposals. The expert and client agree on scope, milestones and payment schedule. Kolabtree holds funds in escrow and releases them as milestones are approved.
Rates and project economics
Hourly rates on Kolabtree typically range from $40 to $150+, with medical writing and regulatory affairs at the higher end. The platform charges clients a service fee; experts receive their full quoted rate. Because projects are specialized, competition is lower than on general marketplaces.
Tips for getting hired on Kolabtree
- List specific techniques and instruments in your profile to match niche searches
