About the Role
We're looking for PhD-level Biochemists to help evaluate and improve cutting-edge AI models trained on advanced scientific content. Your expertise will directly shape how AI understands and reasons through complex biochemical concepts — from protein folding to metabolic flux — making a real impact on the future of scientific AI.
- Organization: Alignerr
- Type: Hourly Contract
- Location: Remote
- Commitment: 10–40 hours/week
What You'll Do
- Design Challenging Problems — Create advanced biochemistry questions and scenarios across domains like nucleic acid chemistry, proteomics, enzyme kinetics, and drug-target interactions to rigorously test AI performance.
- Author Ground-Truth Solutions — Develop precise, step-by-step technical solutions that serve as gold-standard benchmarks for high-level scientific reasoning.
- Audit AI Outputs — Evaluate AI-generated biochemical pathways, molecular structures, and mathematical proofs for technical accuracy, safety, and scientific validity.
- Refine AI Reasoning — Identify and document logical errors in AI responses — such as incorrect stoichiometry, flawed stereochemistry, or misapplied metabolic principles — and provide structured feedback to improve model performance.
Who You Are
- Advanced Degree: PhD (completed or in progress) in Biochemistry, Molecular Biology, or a closely related field
- Domain Expertise: Strong foundational knowledge in areas such as structural biology, enzymology, cellular metabolism, or bioinformatics
- Clear Communicator: Able to translate highly technical biological and chemical concepts into precise, well-structured written explanations
- Detail-Oriented: High level of precision when reviewing complex chemical equations, molecular diagrams, and experimental protocols
- No prior AI experience required
Nice to Have
- Experience with data annotation, data quality, or evaluation systems
- Familiarity with computational biochemistry tools such as PyMOL, AlphaFold, or BLAST
- Background in scientific writing, peer review, or curriculum development
Why Join Us
- Work on high-impact AI projects alongside the world's leading research labs
- Fully remote and flexible — design your own schedule around your existing commitments
- Freelance perks: autonomy, intellectual variety, and global collaboration
- Gain firsthand exposure to how advanced large language models are trained and evaluated
- Potential for ongoing work and contract extension
