About the Role
We're looking for PhD-level Biochemists to help train and refine the next generation of AI systems. Your deep scientific expertise will directly shape how AI reasons about complex topics — from protein folding and enzyme kinetics to metabolic flux and molecular genetics. This is a rare opportunity to apply your research-level knowledge in a meaningful, flexible, and well-compensated way — without leaving your home.
- Organization: Alignerr
- Type: Hourly Contract
- Location: Remote
- Commitment: 10–40 hours/week
What You'll Do
- Design Advanced Problems — Create challenging, domain-specific biochemistry problems across areas like nucleic acid chemistry, proteomics, structural biology, and drug-target interactions to rigorously stress-test AI performance
- Author Gold-Standard Solutions — Develop precise, step-by-step technical responses that serve as benchmarks for AI reasoning in life science contexts
- Audit AI Outputs — Evaluate AI-generated biochemical pathways, molecular structures, and mathematical proofs for scientific accuracy, safety, and adherence to established standards
- Refine AI Reasoning — Identify logical errors such as incorrect stoichiometry, flawed stereochemistry, or misapplied biochemical principles, and deliver structured feedback to improve model performance
- Work independently and asynchronously on your own schedule
Who You Are
- Hold a PhD (completed or in final stages) in Biochemistry, Molecular Biology, or a closely related discipline
- Have strong foundational expertise in one or more of: structural biology, enzymology, cellular metabolism, molecular genetics, or bioinformatics
- Can communicate highly technical biological and chemical concepts clearly and concisely in writing
- Bring a high level of precision to reviewing complex chemical equations, molecular diagrams, and experimental protocols
- Self-motivated and comfortable working independently on task-based assignments
- No prior AI experience required
Nice to Have
- Experience with data annotation, data quality, or evaluation workflows
- Familiarity with computational biochemistry tools such as PyMOL, AlphaFold, or BLAST
- Background in academic writing, scientific publishing, or technical communication
Why Join Us
- Work on cutting-edge AI projects in partnership with leading AI research labs
- Fully remote and flexible — set your own hours and work at your own pace
- Freelance perks: autonomy, variety, and collaboration with experts across the globe
- Contribute to work that meaningfully advances how AI understands science
- Potential for ongoing work and contract extension
