About the Role

What if your years of training in biology could directly shape how AI understands the science of life — from genetic mechanisms to breakthrough biotechnologies? We're looking for Biology Experts with advanced degrees to tackle complex, real-world problems that help the world's leading AI models reason more accurately across the life sciences.

This is a fully remote, flexible contract role built for researchers and scientists who want to put their expertise to work on something genuinely meaningful — without leaving the lab behind entirely.

  • Organization: Alignerr
  • Type: Hourly Contract
  • Location: Remote
  • Commitment: 10–40 hours/week

What You'll Do

  • Develop, solve, and critically review advanced biology problems with real-world scientific relevance
  • Apply your expertise in genetics, biotechnology, bioinformatics, or related disciplines to design complex, nuanced problem statements
  • Collaborate asynchronously with AI researchers and fellow domain experts to improve how AI models reason through life science challenges
  • Ensure scientific rigor, clarity, and depth across all your contributions
  • Help define the standard of biological knowledge that next-generation AI systems are trained on

Who You Are

  • Holds a Master's or PhD in Biology or a closely related field — Genetics, Molecular Biology, Biochemistry, Bioinformatics, or similar
  • Confident coding in Python or R for research, analysis, or data-driven projects
  • Deep expertise in at least one of: genetics, biotechnology, or bioinformatics
  • Exceptional written communicator — you can explain complex science with precision and clarity
  • Detail-oriented, self-motivated, and comfortable working independently in an async environment
  • Fluent in English

Nice to Have

  • Prior experience with data annotation, data quality review, or AI evaluation workflows
  • Background spanning multiple life science disciplines
  • Experience writing for scientific publication, grant applications, or technical documentation
  • Familiarity with AI tools or model evaluation platforms

Why Join Us

  • Work on cutting-edge AI projects alongside leading research labs and AI teams
  • Fully remote and flexible — structure your hours around your life, not the other way around
  • Freelance autonomy with the depth and variety of meaningful, expert-level work
  • Make a direct, lasting impact on how AI understands and communicates biology
  • Potential for ongoing work and contract extension as new projects launch
